The pedagogical uses of digital technology are increasingly being integrated into school and university establishment projects. They make it possible to offer each student learning methods adapted to his or her needs, thus promoting academic success and developing autonomy.
Society is changing. The young people have changed. The role of the teacher and those who accompany them is also changing. But are we equipped to do it ?
Undoubtedly, digital learning methods have already captured the attention of academia around the world, therefore more and more colleges and universities, particularly in developed countries have integrated E-learning into their systems to cater distance education needs. However, the developing countries are still lagging behind due to expensive LMSs and related logistics.
Education 4.0 will be leading the industry in future, however the teaching faculty needs immense training to cope with this high velocity impact on teaching and learning. Unfortunately, the most neglected is teacher development to manage education 4.0. What, and How are major questions to address for teaching education 4.0. I would request suggestions to promote teacher development programs to manage, and address the challenges brought by 21st century education.
Dear Yassine Safsouf
The future of education is therefore a new vision for learning. Hence human and machine align to enable new possibilities which leads the future learning will be way advanced.
Similarly, Education 4.0 establishes a blueprint for the future of learning from childhood schooling, to continuous learning in the workplace, to learning to play a better role in society.
Yassine Safsouf Yes, I think the education 4.0 will change the future of teaching. It may take time because it needs some structural changes and policy requirements.
However the digitization has already change the future of learning. Non associate learning like Habituation and Sensitization pattern today are completely different compared to the decade ago methods.
Moreover during one project and interaction with Holy Quran Learners, I realized that types of learning types like Meaningful learning or Rote learning is also disappearing.

Dear Muhammad Farooq,
Dear Faisal Khalil,
Dear Ayesha Kalim,
Thank you for your exchange and your knowledge, I am very happy with this discussion.
There is definite traction in the UK towards Education 4.0 - as articulated in a useful piece by Fieldman (2018) for JISC which can be found here: https://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/the-potential-of-education-4-is-huge-the-uk-must-take-the-lead-now-12-sep-2018#
That said, it does not seem to have made much of an impact into the debates around education policy, so if Education 4.0 is to have an impact it looks like (at present) it will be at a localised level - rather than integrated into the national agenda.
On a personal note, I think it offers some exciting opportunities and look forward to seeing where /how it plays out in the future.

Not always. I dont think that good result means good teacher. teachers are born ,not made.
I think that Education 4.0 i.e. the use of information technology to help educate students, is a a tool in a toolbox rather than a solution that it is made out to be. There are some fundamental like extensive and intensive reading that are being missed out thus attention spans shorten. Hence having critical debates and in-depth research gets broken up into so many small parts and means, that a full appreciation of a phenomenon is rarely not gained.
One example is my students have class slides at least a week in advance yet few (possibly 6 out of 90) read the slides before class, translate words or look for discussion points even though they have access through their phones. Even if class is prepared with video links and such students attention span and concept of work has changed. Perhaps Education is making things too easy/accessible for students and other areas, call it soft skills, are lost. Students have extensive resources but do not use it.
Prudent use of technology is important. Teachers need to guide students around technology not just use it in presenting material and having discussions. School administration needs to help by balancing the curriculum so that fundamentals investigative and critical thinking skills are not lost to the mass.Thus some classes need to be technology free (or limited). Education should focus on the all-round development of the individual. However the wholesale adoption of technology would not solve that.
