This paper reviews the literature on teaching in educational institutions at the current time and its ability to match the demands of industry, and produce competent human resources for today and the future gener- ation. The study was conducted to shape and inform new-generation teachers of the aspects they need to take into consideration in order to keep themselves relevant, instrumental, and capable of supporting the future of learning, relearning, and unlearning experiences in a globalized setting as the 4th Industrial Revolution unwraps its presence.
A careful review of works obtained from Ebsco host and google scholar for the past five years(2017 – 2022) was done to establish the key shifts in paradigm, and practice as well as establish the challenges and opportunities at play. Key aspects informing the re-imagination are but not limited to digitization, Artificial Intelligence, Data ana- lytics, the Information age, the Internet of things, entrepreneurship, and employability among others.
In the face of these widely appreciated aspects of daily living, teaching as has been over the ages finds itself at crossroads. In order to be an effective tool to transform the generations as has been over the years it is key for the sector to consider a review of the way it thrives in order to support today’s expectations and also to help address the expectations of tomorrow which are largely anticipated but unknown. A review of the delivery, assessment, and practice of teaching is urgent and necessary across the globe to meet these expectations of the learners.
