Technology has replaced the role of teachers in the provide of science. The great of technology has made the students easy to find the different information in their lessons and in the field is able to change their mindset in the future. If teachers do not understand the mechanism and pattern of dissemination of information so quickly, they will decline as a professional. If this happens, teachers will lose the trust of their students, parents and the community. To face the challenges of professionalism, teachers need to be anticipatory and proactive thinking. It means that teachers have to do an update of science and knowledge continually.

In conclusion, the role of teachers is still needed in the future, but not only a highly trained professional teacher. Also Teacher possess skills in counseling and mediation, and have a strong understanding of the social supports available to Families and young people. Addiitonally teacher in the future should also be aware of research in support of the implementation of teaching effectiveness.
