Abstract

The advent of Industry 5.0 marks a pivotal moment in global industry, characterized by the fusion of advanced technologies and human-centred approaches. Embedding Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) into teacher training becomes imperative in Africa, where the demand for skilled professionals is burgeoning. This study delves into the transformative potential of TPACK for African educators, emphasizing its role in equipping them with skills to prepare students for Industry 5.0 demands. Through a systematic literature review spanning from 2000 to 2024, this research examines TPACK's multifaceted dimensions and its relevance to twenty-first-century learning skills in Africa. It scrutinizes how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence reshape pedagogical practices and content delivery in African educational contexts. Furthermore, it explores TPACK's ability to empower teachers in nurturing critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy among students, essential for navigating the complexities of Industry 5.0. The findings underscore the necessity for tailored professional development programs integrating TPACK into African teacher training curricula. Moreover, the research stresses the importance of contextualizing TPACK within the socio-economic and cultural realities of African classrooms to ensure its efficacy. Additionally, the study highlights the pivotal roles of government policies and educational institutions in providing necessary support and resources for widespread TPACK adoption among educators. This research advocates for a paradigm shift in African teacher education, highlighting TPACK's centrality in preparing educators for Industry 5.0 challenges and opportunities. By equipping teachers with adept technology integration skills, African nations can foster innovative and globally competitive learners poised to thrive in the fourth industrial revolution. Key Words:TPACK, Industry 5.0, teacher training, twenty-first-century, emerging technologies, professional development
