Navigating the future, particularly in advancing 21st-century teaching pedagogy, hinges on the ability to confront two major challenges: Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). VUCA has become an integral aspect of every environmental shift and requires foresight from education stakeholders. VUCA introduces life uncertainties, leading to unexpected changes. Artificial Intelligence is set to revolutionize human behaviours by automating tasks previously handled conventionally, now managed through applications and other advanced platforms. Concerns regarding the negative impact of AI are warranted, yet educators can leverage AI wisely to integrate it effectively with pedagogy and character development.
