Education 4.0

a continuous process of educational innovation

Abstract

The incursion of information technology in society soon reached education, from where the training of users and executives of information in the society of knowledge was created. Its importance is doubtless, because knowledge is a large-scale social capital for the use of advances in science and technology. Many studies have been carried out on these uses and their relevance in the labour field, always based on successful practices, have required putting into action the human talent and recent technological inventions. Thus, the advent of new technological means has enhanced the flow of information and communication permeating society, which has been enriched with the creation of the digital network (Internet) and the invention of new applications, models, and styles of interaction which have revolutionized social and labour relations. The social networks are today part of this innovative reality. In this article, we reflect on the meaning and impact of Education 4.0, born with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which could be summarized as the education that has forged a continuous process of innovation, in which the inverted classes and self-learning emerged.
