Abstract
This study examined teachers' perceptions about the components of the teacher's capacity according to the 4th industrial revolution. This study involved 100 elementary school teachers: 26 with less than 5 years of educational experience, 24 with more than 5 but less than 10 years, 25 with more than 10 but less than 20 years, and 25 with more than 20 years. From the results of recognition analyses of six competence components, 'Knowledge and application ability of knowledge information', 'ability to appropriately study content', 'collaboration ability among school members', 'ability to maintain relationship', 'value and attitude required for community', 'ability to communicate with others' were found to be important for teachers. The result of analyzing the importance and the retention of each competency element showed that the recognition difference according to the education career and the degree of retention was insufficient compared to most important competence component. Thus, in-service education and training programs must reflect the competencies required by actual teachers in education and education-teacher training institutions.
