In the context of an increasingly digitalized society and facing the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Education 4.0 model emerges as a crucial proposal to meet the demands of Industry 4.0.
This new vision of education, focused on the development of both digital and soft skills, aligns with the needs of an ever-evolving job market.
In the article we present, authors Ángel Fidalgo-Blanco, María Luisa Sein-Echaluce, and Francisco José García-Peñalvo explore the method based on Education 4.0, highlighting the lessons learned during the pandemic and how these can enhance learning and teaching across various academic and professional contexts.
The study conducted by professors from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, the University of Zaragoza, and the University of Salamanca focuses on analyzing how Cloud Computing infrastructures, active hybrid methodologies, new technologies, and horizontal 4.0 competencies, when effectively integrated, can significantly improve learning outcomes.
This integration not only responds to the demand for specific skills required by the modern industry but also promotes collaborative and dynamic learning that empowers students and fosters continuous innovation.
The experience described in this article serves as a valuable reference for educators and educational policy designers interested in applying and adapting the Education 4.0 model in their own institutions.
