Abstract

Education is undergoing significant changes due to the widespread penetration of digitalization in all sectors of the country. To examine the evolving role of teachers in future education, this analysis focuses on policy documents and reports issued by UNESCO, as well as research materials from foreign countries in this field. This examination is particularly pertinent to the implementation of teaching practices in the field of education in Mongolia. In the process of analysing these documents, a content analysis was performed, with a specific focus on identifying indicators related to the role of teachers. The outcome of this analysis has enabled us to discern seven key areas in which the future teacher’s functions will be crucial: 1) possessing extensive scientific and pedagogical knowledge; 2) proficiency in 21st-century skills, allowing teachers to serve as role models; 3) implementing personalized learning strategies tailored to each student’s needs; 4) breaking down the traditional barriers between teacher and student, creating a free and open learning environment; 5) ensuring inclusive education, providing equal opportunities to all students; 6) cultivating qualities such as warmth, fairness, understanding of children, respect for student independence, and serving as moral exemplars; 7) emphasizing collaborative learning by building relationships with various social groups, extending learning beyond the classroom, participating in educational discussions, and advocating for societal change. In light of the findings from this research, we recommend that current educational practices, which often centre around teacher-led instruction, be adapted to incorporate the functions of future education teaching. This adaptation should occur at various levels of the education system, including education governing bodies such as the General Department of Education, the Education Evaluation Centre, and teacher training universities.
