ABSTRACT

The transformation of the labour market, in particular in relation to the expectations for skills required for the future workplace, poses a challenge to educational institutions, which is how to adapt to this dynamic environment. The directions of this transformation, linked with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), can be analysed from the perspectives of the main stakeholders of the Education 4.0 ecosystem, which in the case of higher education refers to students, the labour market, and educational institutions. In this chapter, we identify the main aspects of the transformation towards Education 4.0 and its impact on development of the new educational concepts and methods. In addition, the role of infrastructure and disruptive technologies such as extended reality and blockchain in the transition of educational institutions is discussed.
