Redefining the Teacher in Light of the Digital World: From Knowledge Transmitter to Learning Designer

Abstract

This study addresses the reconfiguration of the teacher in light of the digital world. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach through content analysis of the phenomenon، reviewing previous literature، and then analyzing and breaking down the phenomenon into small parts، studying each part separately، and linking them together in order to reach a comprehensive and accurate understanding. The study aims to identify solutions for how learners interact with the digital world and modern technology، to present appropriate solutions for advancing the teacher and developing digital competencies and skills، and to understand the challenges teachers face in the digital age، analyze the current situation، and explore the available capacities for digital advancement. The results of the study showed that digital teaching skills can be developed through well-planned e-training، and that teachers must acquire several skills، such as critical thinking and the ability to use technology. The study also found that teachers are under technical and psychological pressure because of their attempt to keep pace with digital development، as well as the weakness of the available capacities for digital and technological advancement. The study recommended providing technical and infrastructural support in schools، giving greater attention to preparing teachers to benefit from digital development، improving and updating school curricula in the digital age، using technology in a well-planned manner to achieve the desired educational goals، and conducting future research on the economic costs and benefits of using artificial intelligence in educational institutions.
