A Training Program in the light of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4th IR) Requirements to Develop Awareness of Education 4.0 Trend and Future Roles of Teacher 4.0 for Student-Teachers, Scientific Departments at the College of Education

 
The research aims to investigate the effect of a training program in the light of the fourth industrial revolution (4^th IR) requirements on developing awareness of education 4.0 trend and future roles of teacher 4.0 for student-teachers, scientific departments at the college of education. To achieve the goal of the research, a list of both education 4.0 trend dimensions and future roles of teacher 4.0 were prepared, The proposed training program was also prepared in the light of the fourth industrial revolution (4^th IR) requirements, as its procedural objectives were formulated. Its scientific foundations, content, hybrid training strategies, activities, learning resources, and evaluation methods were organized. Trainer and trainee guides were prepared according to the training program. The research depended on experimental design based on two groups, one as experimental group and one as a control group with conducting pre- and post-measurements of research instruments. The research groups consisted of (90) student-teachers in the fourth year of the scientific departments at the college of education.
 The research instruments were pre-administered; these are a test of the cognitive domain; self-assessment checklist; a scale of beliefs associated with awareness of education 4.0 trend, and a test of the cognitive domain;; a scale of beliefs associated with awareness of future roles for teacher 4.0. Then the training treatment was introduced to student-teachers in the experimental group through the proposed program, and after completing it the research instruments were post-administered. The data were statistically analyzed using parametric methods.
The research results revealed that there were a statistically significant differences at the (a £ 0.05) level of significance between the means of the scores of students-teachers in the two groups (experimental and control) in the post administration of research instruments, in favor for the experimental group. Results revealed that the effectiveness of the training program based on 4^th IR requirements in developing awareness of education 4.0 trend and future roles of teacher 4.0 for student-teachers of the scientific departments at the college of education. The most important recommendations are the necessity of developing programs for preparing science teachers (chemistry - physics – biological- basic sciences) before service in colleges of education in the light of the fourth industrial revolution (4^th IR) requirements.
