The 4th industrial revolution (IR 4.0) or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is characterized by the massive expansion of computation, digitalization, networking and physical processes. The so-called Industry 4.0 penetrates various industries and life domains by paving its way to the global networking system through data transmission. Thus, the emergence of IR 4.0 may change the dynamic in the teacher supervisor construct. Therefore, this conceptual paper aims to examine the teacher supervisor roles in the era of IR 4.0. Hence, a conceptual framework is proposed to identify critical roles played by teacher supervisor which should be retained in embracing IR 4.0. Findings indicate that supervisor’s roles in providing professional conference, encouragement for reflection and emotional support should remain.
The emerging of IR 4.0 has brought a massive change in the world of education. In facing IR 4.0, teachers today are urged to suit the process of teaching and learning. Hence, the teachers need to dominate the information technology because the new millennia students consist of z and alpha generation, who tend to utilize technology-based learning. Therefore, this study discusses how highly qualified teachers can cope with the current flow of revolution 4.0 according to current requirements. Findings show that high efficacy teachers in terms of student management, instructional strategies, and classroom management are willing to accept changes in teaching and learning. Besides, IR 4.0 has transformed the country’s educational landscape from traditional-based learning to technology-based learning. IR 4.0 has enormous implications for the country’s education system according to 21st-century learning needs.
The social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tweeter have robustly used in this new era of technology. Despite of the negative impacts imposed by social media related problems like ill health, hackers, and internet addiction, the usage of social media undeniably has implicated positivities in many ways. For instance, the usage of social media in digital business has proved to be effective in attracting the customers to buy the products or services offered. Thus, the usage of social media among young generation is seen as the best way to expose the young people to involve in business. This conceptual paper delibrates some benefits of using social media in digital business as the new way to develop start-up entrepreneur. By reviewing some literature, this paper attempts to explore the significance effect of using social media in triggering entrepreneurial intention among youngsters. The findings indicate that the early involvement in business using social media triggers entrepreneurial intention by intensifying their entrepreneurial knowledge. Ultimately, through the findings of this research, the authors aim to deliver the best way to cultivate entrepreneurial intention among young generation.
Teachers’ roles in implementing a curriculum is crucial in ensuring the planned curriculum is able to achieve its intended meaning. Accordingly, technology integration is considered essential as it perpetuates better learning outcomes for the learners. Specifically, embracing a new curriculum at classroom level requires teachers as its sole enactors to integrate any technology which accompanies an innovation. However, technology advancement does not confirm comprehensive integration. Subsequently, this conceptual paper tries to elucidate teachers’ willingness to change and beliefs as predictors to successful curriculum implementation where technology integration is involved. Findings indicate that these two constructs are able to manoeuvre teachers to implement a new curriculum in a successful manner when technology integration is involved.
The availability of communication and information technology (ICT) facilities have played an important role in making the learning and programming process (PdPc) successful in the 21st century. ICT has become a great medium for facilitating information sharing and discovery, especially in the education world. However, our country concerns about teachers' readiness to accept reforms in education. In addition, the level of ICT in teachers is still low and poor internet access is hindering the use of ICT among teachers, especially teachers who teach in rural schools. Therefore, this study aims to look at the relationship of ICT usage among students in the state of Terengganu with the advent of the industrial revolution 4.0. This study is a quantitative study by descriptive review and inference. The questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect data and a total of 102 regular daily SMK students in Terengganu were selected as the study sample. The data of this study were analysed by descriptive and inferential analysis involving percentage, frequency, mean score, “Independent Samples T-Test” and correlation. The findings of this study indicate that there is no significant difference in the level of understanding of IR 4.0 based on gender and school location factors. The study also found that there was no significant difference in the use of ICT as a medium of learning based on school location. However, there is a significant correlation between the understandings of IR 4.0 on the use of ICT in learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that students in Terengganu state ICT as a means of gaining and sharing knowledge as well as the medium of learning today. The results of this study are expected to provide important information to the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) in enhancing ICT integration in the PdPc process in schools. Kewujudan kemudahan teknologi komunikasi dan maklumat (ICT) berperanan penting dalam menjayakan proses pembelajaran dan pemudahcaraan (PdPc) pada abad ke-21. ICT telah menjadi medium perantara yang baik dalam memaksiumkan perkongsian dan pencarian informasi khususnya dalam dunia pendidikan. Namun, Negara kita menghadapi masalah mengenai kesediaan guru untuk menerima pembaharuan dalam pendidikan. Selain itu juga, tahap pengusaan ICT dalam kalangan guru-guru masih rendah dan capaian internet yang lemah menjadi kekangan penggunaan ICT dalam kalangan guru, terutamanya guru yang mengajar di sekolah luar Bandar. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan penggunaan ICT dalam kalangan pelajar di negeri Terengganu seiring dengan kemunculan revolusi industri 4.0. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kuantitatif secara tinjauan deskriptif dan inferensi. Soal selidik digunakan sebagai instrumen kajian untuk mengumpulkan data dan seramai 102 orang pelajar SMK harian biasa di Terengganu dipilih sebagai sampel kajian. Data kajian ini dianalisis secara analisis deskriptif dan analisis inferensi yang melibatkan peratusan, kekerapan, skor min, “Independent Samples T-Test” dan korelasi. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan tahap kefahaman IR 4.0 berdasarkan faktor jantina dan lokasi sekolah. Kajian juga mendapati tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan penggunaan ICT sebagai medium pembelajaran berdasarkan lokasi sekolah. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat perkaitan yang signifikan antara kefahaman tentang IR 4.0 terhadap penggunaan ICT dalam pembelajaran. Justeru, dapat disimpulkan bahawa pelajar-pelajar di negeri Terengganu menjadikan ICT sebagai wadah menimba dan berkongsi ilmu pengetahuan serta menjadi medium pembelajaran masa kini. Hasil kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberi maklumat penting kepada Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) dalam usaha meningkatkan pengintergrasian ICT dalam proses PdPc di sekolah-sekolah.
