EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Industrial Revolution 4. 0 (IR) and Education 4. 0 Education 4. 0 is a response to Industrial Revolution 4. 0 or IR 4. 0. What is IR 4. 0? This is the 4 th Industrial Revolution. Obviously, the Fourth Industrial Revolution came after a First, Second and Third Industrial Revolution which are referred to as IR 1. 0 , IR 2. 0. and IR 3. 0 , respectively.

EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

IR 4. 0 is computers connected to computers. It is interconnectivity. It’s the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence. In IR 4. 0 we have ADVANCED PA NA robots, driverless cars, genetic sequencing and editing, miniaturized sensors, and 3 D printing, to name a few. We can know anything, anytime, anywhere. Global community connects everything, everywhere always – the INTERNET of Everything. Stem cell curing becomes obsolete. With genetic sequencing and editing, we can now remove the sickness. With all these profound changes brought about by IR 4. 0 , how should education be? What should the curriculum consist of? What should curriculum focus on? The answer or answers to these questions are actually what Education 4. 0 means. In other words, Education 4. 0 is the response of the education sector to all changes brought about by IR 4. 0.

EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Schools have no choice but to respond to the dramatic changes brought about by IR 4. 0 , if they have to be relevant. Higher education institutions cannot ignore these developments or else become irrelevant. To be relevant, schools should consider some statistics: To be relevant, schools should consider some statistics:

• 80 % of the skills trained in the last 50 years can now be outperformed by machines
• 65 % of children who entered in 2018 will work in a job that have not been invented yet
• 49 % of current jobs have the potential for machine replacement

EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Actually, creativity, flexibility, compassion and empathy form part of the 10 skills demanded by IR 4. 0 enumerated by the World Economic Forum Report as follows: Complex Problem Solving Critical Thinking Creativity People Management Coordinating with Others Emotional intelligence Judgement and Decision – making Service Orientation Negotiation Cognitive Flexibility

EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Education 4. 0 must intentionally and formally include program outcomes, course outcomes and learning outcomes that are focused on the development of the 10 skills for success in IR 4. 0. School curricula should develop new generation that is analytical in their way of thinking and is continuously adaptable to new skills and new roles. Course content must necessarily, purposively (not incidental teaching) include or integrate all these 10 skills. They must be taught to welcome machines and other features brought by IR 4. 0. Learners should be taught that AI (Artificial Intelligence) can enhance or optimize creativity but cannot create. AI is a great creative tool for scientists, artists, musicians and writers.

EDUCATION 4.0 IN THE

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

The modes of teaching shall be flexible. With knowledge anywhere, anytime, lesson delivery can be flexible. We can have flipped classrooms where students are given the problems or questions in class, and they go out to search for the answers to the problems or questions then come back to share their answers. One can combine face–to-face instruction with online learning. Assessment of learning will not be limited to paper-and-pencil test. The assessment of knowledge, skills and values is done through more authentic modes of assessment.
