The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the next generation of industry based cyber-physical systems, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented reality, IoT, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, etc.
How could you image the classroom of the future?
In the educational context, first of all it is necessary for teachers to learn to deal with technology in the classroom, i believe that is the biggest challenge. Because technology is already a reality in many schools, such as digital slates, classroom tablets, educational applications and robotics.
Certainly there is still resistance to technology, which i imagine will be overcome in at least the next decade.
Dear Dr. Castro-Romera,
The main issue is that we are already experiencing the fifth industrial revolution, which is said to be the intelligence revolution. As a consequence of this, our society will gradually be permeated with smart, cognizant and even intelligent systems that are able to adapt, evolve and replicate themselves in changing contexts and circumstances. First of all, we have to understand (even philosophically) the relationships of human kind to these proliferating knowledge-intensive, autonomous and intellectualized systems. Only then, can we consider educational aspects, challenges and objectives.
Kind regards,
Imre Horvath
Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to answer my questions.
Good question. Remember, 4IR is about digitised dynamical systems. That is, things and people interconnected, digitised and fast-moving. So, the education system must emphasize analytics and appreciate sociology. Call it interdisciplinarity.
