The Development of Teachers Toward Professional Teaching in the Digital Age

Abstract

In the digital age where technology plays a crucial role in learning, teachers need to develop new skills in order to deliver effective and modern teaching. Developing teachers to become professional instructional innovators will foster the development of digital skills, creative use of technology in the classroom, design of engaging and participatory learning activities, as well as the creation of flexible and learning-conducive environments. From this academic article, the objective is to present the process of developing teachers to become professional instructional innovators in the digital age, according to the ADDIE model under the K-R-U-P-R-O-5G framework (6 steps): 1. Knowledge 2. Reflection 3. Understanding 4. Practice 5. Improvement 6. Continuous development. This aims to build the characteristics of new generation teachers with the 5G model. Developing teachers to become professional instructional innovators in the digital era will help create outstanding, modern and more effective learning experiences, which will enable students to have the potential to compete in the digital world. Developing professional instructional innovator teachers is crucial for preparing students for the digital age.
