Abstract

Abstract : The present study aims to present, from the main characteristics of Education 4.0, its possibilities and applicability in industry 4.0. As a subsidy, an exploratory study was carried out through bibliographic research in the main research bases in order to obtain updated knowledge on the theme of Education 4.0 and Industry 4.0. The results denote the importance of the applicability of the main ideas of this form of education in the current and future moment, mainly because the current and future generations are very involved in the concepts of connectivity and hybrid learning. The limitations of this research reside in the fact that, as it is a new situation, which had to be adopted almost instantly, it needs to have a greater maturity and there is a need for further research and studies, mainly in the search for the best application of technologies in the educational field. The practical implications highlight that the use of technologies in education is a reality in which teachers and students should increasingly perceive themselves as immersed and open to new educational possibilities. The originality of the study lies in the fact that education aimed at the application of new technologies still has a wide field of research andmany areas still do not have the necessary depth regarding education 4.0.

Keywords: Education 4.0; Industry 4.0; New educational technologies
