“Progress is now so quick that we can’t keep the paradigm of ‘I learn and then I apply’. The obsolescence
of knowledge is shorter and shorter which means that by the time our students apply what they know, it
is already outdated.” This are some of the additional challenges and opportunities that our students will
experience in the near future. However according to Alvin Toffler, Future Shock (1970) “The illiterate of
the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and
relearn”. So as educators, we have a huge responsibility to society. Our students will become the
developers and engineers, the employers and the policymakers who will shape how this transformation
unfolds. They need to be well-informed and prepared to face some huge challenges and to take advantage
of opportunities that may be unique in our history.
The deped must discussed and presented a series of ethical challenges relating to the ways that
technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence, are developing and the impact on society that we may
need to consider in preparing our students to become informed and responsible citizens in the future. By
that the department of education guide their students towards further study and work that matches their
skills and abilities. It is slowly adapt the new technology, our curriculum is the best example for the
preparation for the 4th industrial revolution because in that curriculum we can produce a student for a
high paid skill worker and entrepreneur and the teacher must explore how to adapt their skills to fit with
these new realities.. “Currently the future is unknown. A lot of technology is developing right now, so we
cannot predict the future and see beyond five years. What we are trying to do is build a base and stable
foundation for our children and students to grow on. We focus mainly on providing them with the ability
to self-learn. The school are providing academic level courses which allow the students to advance and
continue learning outside the classroom as they are exposed to new tools that allow them to develop
themselves.”
“Teachers won’t be the only ones who know anymore but will be the ones who guide and coach students
to deepen their ideas and to take actions.” said Agnes Malnuit, an educator from ORT Lyon in France.
However we are in a middle of change. We are not yet ready for a robotize world. As I watch a news some
schools have produce or they teach their students on how to build a robots. But in our country I can say
that we are late for that knowledge. We only know how to use of the technology or as I say we are only a
user for the technology not a producer or a maker of that technology. The 4th industrial revolution involves
the transformation of entire system across countries, companies, industries, and society as a whole. The
transformation of the technology will have a big impact to the 21st century schools .As a teacher we will
must prepare for our learning so that they will be ready for the coming of the 4th industrial revolution. The
teacher must be aware of what will be the output or what will happen in the 4th industrial revolution.
