ABSTRACT
Green Skills are a gateway to turning Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) into a low carbon economy and innovation. Technology competency of Green Skills is one of the competencies that are essential to the driving force behind effective teaching and learning. Thus, this study seeks to identify the readiness level technology competency of green skills in 4IR amongst TVET teacher trainee. This study will also identify the needed level technology competency of green skills in 4IR towards TVET teacher trainee from the perspective of educator. A total of 154 teacher trainees and 44 educators were selected as samples by using disproportionate stratified random technique. The questionnaire has been developed and adapted from the Model of Green Skills Competency by Pavlova and Skills in 4IR consists of 8 indicators. Mean score and standard deviation for statistical measurement were used to report the findings. Findings from the analysis show that the readiness level technology competency of green skill in 4IR amongst TVET teacher trainee are at a moderate level. However, the needed level technology competency of green skills in 4IR towards TVET teacher trainee from the perspective of educator are at high level. This shows that technology competency of green skills is important to teacher trainee in order to face the challenge of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Findings from this study will benefit Institute of Teacher Education and Ministry of Education in order to prepare teacher trainees as well as in-service teachers with technology green skills so that our Sustainable Development Goals will be achieved and equip themselves in a way of Fourth Industrial Revolution.
