Abstract

This paper investigated the rationale for teacher education and professional development in re-positioning education in the 4th industrial revolution in Enugu State, Nigeria. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. A descriptive survey design was employed as the research design for the study. The population of the study is made up of 60 respondents selected across all levels of education, comprising 20 teachers each drawn from 2 public and 2 private schools across all levels of education in Enugu State. Structured questionnaire was the instrument for data collection. The sample size is the same as the population of the study because the size was manageable, the whole population was studied. The collected data was analysed using frequencies and percentages. The findings of the study state that most teachers across all levels of education both private and public schools have the desire to adopt advanced technologies, to help them develop themselves professionally, promote their students’ academic excellence, make them better teachers, and as well enhance their intellectual growth. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the educational system should as a matter of necessity, enlighten, motivate, and embolden teachers across all levels of education on the need to link these technologies and smart devices to teaching and learning to promote teacher education and teacher professional development.
