Abstract

This paper explored the quality of teaching as a focus for educationists in the 4th industrial revolution. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and simple random sampling technique was employed to select respondents across gender lines. Structured questionnaire was the data instrument used for this study. The instrument was validated by two lecturers who are measurement and evaluation specialists. Sample size of 120 respondents was drawn from the population of 680 people, comprising 70 teachers and 50 students, drawn from 2 public and private secondary schools in Enugu State. Sample size was statistically determined using Chall-Dale Readability Score. As a result of the sizeable nature of the sample size, the whole population was studied. This study was guided by two hypotheses which were analyzed using chi-square and tested at 0.05 level of significance with one degree of freedom. The findings of this study state that educationists should focus on promoting quality teaching by laying more emphasis on the use of innovative teaching approaches cum methods and technological devices characterized by 4th industrial revolution to enhance students’ academic excellence. Based on these findings, the study recommends that educationists should wake up on the call to utilize these advanced technologies such as Smart devices, Robotics, Big Data, 3D printing, Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to promote quality teaching and learning for the benefits of the teachers and students.
