- Abstract
The ineffective learning in higher institution in the previous revolutions has been attributed to non-professionalism of educators mostly in exploring modern technologies. It then becomes imperative that professionalism of educators in the society 5.0 is a must, so that education sector will not remain a dumping ground for the product of society 5.0 technologies. This study therefore, examined the professionalism of educators in society 5.0. The descriptive research design of survey type was used for the study. A sample of 450 professional educators were drawn from 2930 educators from three universities in South West Nigeria using a multistage sampling procedure. The researchers developed and used a questionnaire titled “Professionalism of educators in society 5.0”Questionnaire” (PES5.0Q) with a correlation coefficient of 0.74. The study employed Chi-square and Pearson moment of correlation in the data analysis; while the null hypotheses formulated for the study were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the professional educators do not have enough access to modern technologies that can produce society 5.0 graduates. Also, the result further revealed that, enhancing the professional educators in professional development programmes will help to a certain extent in actualising society 5.0 goals. It was therefore recommended among others, that professional educators in Nigeria should have an uninterrupted access to modern technologies to enhance teaching and learning processes.
