Abstract
The role of teachers, professionalism, and challenges and opportunities for teachers in the era of globalisation. The method used was qualitative descriptive with a literature study and critical-conceptual analysis approach. Data sources were obtained from scientific journals, academic books, and relevant education regulations. Data collection techniques were carried out through literature documentation, then analysed in three stages: concept identification, thematic classification, and conceptual synthesis. The results of the study show that teachers have a strategic role as educators, teachers, motivators, innovators, facilitators, and role models. Teacher professionalism includes pedagogical, personal, social, and professional competencies that must be applied in practice, not just formally recognised. Challenges for teachers in the era of globalisation include the demand to master digital technology, moral crises, and changes in student learning patterns. However, globalisation also opens up opportunities for the development of digital teaching materials, multicultural insights, and learning based on ecological intelligence. The research conclusion emphasises the importance of continuous professional development through a participatory approach to strengthen teachers' professional awareness in carrying out their transformative functions in line with the demands of the 21st century.
