Keywords:
Industrial revolution, Techincal, TVET, Vocational educationAbstract
The purpose of this research is to develop the Competency
Index of TVET instructors towards Industrial Revolution 4.0
(IR4.0). The new technological waves from IR4.0 bring
changes and development to current technology, and the
TVET education system in Malaysia is bound to face a similar
fate. TVET instructors play the biggest role to shape the
human product in TVET institutions. A competent TVET
instructor will yield competent human capital. Therefore, the
reinforcement of the TVET system should begin with the
main player which is the TVET instructor. Therefore, a Delphi
study will be conducted involving 11 expert panels to identify
the index of Competency of TVET instructors towards IR4.0.
With the findings from this Delphi study, a questionnaire
about Competency Index will be developed. Then, the
questionnaire will be distributed to 147 TVET instructors
from the electrical and electronics department at the
institution under the Ministry of Youth and Sport. The data
collected from the questionnaire will help the researcher to
develop the Competency Index of TVET instructors towards
IR4.0. The findings of the study will help the TVET institution
in preparing TVET instructors to become specialized, highlyskilled, competent, and efficient in the attempt to
strengthen the teaching profession, which is in line with
IR4.0.
