Year: 2026
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: This paper addresses the integration of emerging technologies into Education 4.0 (Edu 4.0) frameworks, aiming to meet the evolving demands of Industry 4.0. It provides a systematic literature review (SLR) of innovative frameworks and models, analyzing 19 studies from a pool of 277 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024. The paper identifies key frameworks incorporating technologies like AI and IoT and emphasizes adaptive, personalized, and collaborative learning methods. It highlights gaps in advanced technologies and frameworks for primary and secondary education. The paper contributes to technology-enhanced education by offering insights into the characteristics and applications of Edu 4.0 frameworks and proposes a preliminary conceptual framework for implementing Edu 4.0. Recommendations for practitioners include adopting adaptive learning methods, integrating advanced technologies, and expanding frameworks to early education. Researchers are encouraged to explore advanced technologies, address gaps in collaborative learning, and validate the proposed framework. The findings emphasize the potential for inclusive, technology-driven education systems that enhance digital literacy, adaptability, and lifelong learning. Future research should focus on empirical studies to refine the framework and investigate its applicability across educational levels, ensuring alignment with the skills needed for Industry 4.0.
