Abstract


Vocational teachers in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) organizations play a vital role in the vocational technical education landscape of the country. The professional development of these teachers is essential for acquiring the necessary knowledge and competency skills. This article delves into the competency elements required to effectively navigate the challenges presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution among vocational teachers in Malaysia. The literature review serves as a roadmap for understanding the competency elements that vocational teachers need to adapt to in order to tackle the current challenges in the industrial sector. This conceptual paper, drawn from the literature review, contributes to the theoretical advancement of competencies by focusing on the key elements central to the development of TVET teachers' competencies: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These elements serve as crucial benchmarks for producing competent and professional instructors capable of addressing the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era in Malaysia.
