“…In addition, Teachers 4.0 should also adapt digital applications resulting from the IR 4.0 era into teaching and learning activities. The findings of the Akgunduz & Mesutoglu (2021) study also indicate the need to assist teachers in designing certain aspects of STEM instructional plans including the meaningful integration of mobile programming, robotic programming, and virtual reality into lesson content. With this, students can be exposed to the digital environment that is in line with the era of IR 4.0 indirectly students will not be outdated and can cultivate awareness to students related to the application of the era of IR 4.0.…”

In the era of IR 4.0, the education system needs a transformation that can adapt to such rapid change. The role and characteristics of teachers have also changed in terms of meeting the requirements of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 aspect. This study aims to examine the trends of systematically published studies involving the role and characteristics of 4.0 teachers in the last five years, which are from 2018 to 2022. Qualitative methods are used by analyzing content and screening articles using PRISMA guidelines. Article searches are through Google Scholar database sources. A total of 24 articles were found after being screened according to the set criteria. The results of the analysis of this study found that 4.0 teachers need to meet digital literacy skills, lifelong learning skills, leadership skills, and personal attitudes. It is hoped that this study can provide guidelines to the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) in formulating skills training programs for educators towards producing a useful generation in the era of IR 4.0. In addition, this study can help researchers to see research trends related to the characteristics and role of teachers in aspects of Industrial Revolution 4.0.

“…The level of knowledge and experience in the field of pedagogical concepts should be improved. Specific teacher development training can be organized to combine achievements related to different disciplines and solve them within a general subject or problem [30]. For example, a teaching and learning scholarship (SoTL) plays a vital role in ensuring the continuous improvement of STEM pedagogy reflecting the changing needs of students, as well as the increased opportunities offered by technological innovations [31].…”

STEM education as an innovative paradigm of education is being rapidly introduced into the curricula of higher educational institutions. The research is devoted to the study of the capabilities of online communication services for managing teamwork aimed at the development and implementation of innovative investment projects in the STEM education environment. An innovative concept of a distance learning course – Designing investment projects in the field of health care and recreation – is suggested based on organizational principles. The online communication services such as Mirapolis Virtual Room, Moodle and Microsoft Teams implemented into the educational interaction program made it possible to create a high-quality real-time e-learning environment. The online course was tested by 200 students. The results of the experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the use of online communication services and platforms in the development of professional practical experience within the educational concept of STEM. Students appreciated the high level of the innovative component in team interaction programs (98%), as well as, in the approaches to cooperation with business entities (95%); 91% of students noted the high level of quality of the educational content, pedagogical (84%), technological (92%) and conceptual (78%) innovative value of the educational product. Taking a course that is based on the STEM model had a dramatic impact on the development of the key competencies of the 21st century. The study can be of interest to teachers who are looking for effective pedagogical models that can be easily adapted to the needs of the business environment and the generation of students of the new digital era.

“…Papers such as Tosello et al (2019) ; Verner et al (2020) focus on using robotics to teach and train students for the I4.0 era. This concern is also latent in several publications that mention the incorporation of I4.0 in the multiple levels of education, such as the works of Akgunduz and Mesutoglu (2021) , Mystakidis et al (2021) and Mystakidis and Christopoulos (2022) . These agree that, in addition to providing students with increased capabilities, the use of project-based learning considering the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) fields and I4.0 also help teachers obtain greater knowledge about the area which is presented as fundamental.…”

A robot localization proposal for the RobotAtFactory 4.0: A novel robotics competition within the Industry 4.0 concept

et al. 2022

Robotic competitions are an excellent way to promote innovative solutions for the current industries’ challenges and entrepreneurial spirit, acquire technical and transversal skills through active teaching, and promote this area to the public. In other words, since robotics is a multidisciplinary field, its competitions address several knowledge topics, especially in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) category, that are shared among the students and researchers, driving further technology and science. A new competition encompassed in the Portuguese Robotics Open was created according to the Industry 4.0 concept in the production chain. In this competition, RobotAtFactory 4.0, a shop floor, is used to mimic a fully automated industrial logistics warehouse and the challenges it brings. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) must be used to operate without supervision and perform the tasks that the warehouse requests. There are different types of boxes which dictate their partial and definitive destinations. In this reasoning, AMRs should identify each and transport them to their destinations. This paper describes an approach to the indoor localization system for the competition based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and ArUco markers. Different innovation methods for the obtained observations were tested and compared in the EKF. A real robot was designed and assembled to act as a test bed for the localization system’s validation. Thus, the approach was validated in the real scenario using a factory floor with the official specifications provided by the competition organization.
