Education is continually growing and innovating as the years pass by and the rapid revolution of technology is whipping in the society specially for the learners. It is evident around the country that digital technologies conquered the schools that even a little child was connected to the online world.
Today’s generation cannot live without these technology, hence, it serves as one of the basic need that somehow can be equated as important like food. It is true that with the help of these technology everything was made efficient in particular to the students. In just a glimpse, any given data and information can be gather in one browse to the internet. Learners can be able to grasp as simply as they want to. They have developed information skills and technological skills where in can be used in to their learning. It shapes the students’ abilities in terms of being creative and a fond of interactive activities in the classroom, being passive is not their attitude anymore, today they are more engaging and want to experience such intense and more discovery activities with the help of technology in there learning process.
The Information and communications technology (ICT) plays a crucial role towards the development of our nation. For the next years to come our country’s biggest challenge are education, better transportation, and basic services that can all be solved by Internet access and big data. At the forefront of innovation are mobile solutions, coming primarily from the country’s thriving industry. Basically, that the Industrial Revolution are currently existing, Education 4.0 had started in some parts of the country through the presence of multimedia, high technology, smartphones and other digital.
As of the Feb 01, 2019 from CNN report stated that there are 76 million internet users in the country, and all of them are on some form of social media. Seventy-two million Filipinos access them via a mobile device. Obviously, that everybody should make a move to walk through this IR 4.0 by the help of of the big bosses in the society, the government, business sector, and all citizens. The Education 4.0 was developed as response to the ever changing world in the Industry that show how internet based technology and information works in the industry.
For education, the teachers should be able to better meet the specific needs of the learners, it also ensures that the approach will be more realistic and practical because Education 4.0 leads to better student learning outcomes. Institutions in the Philippines should use tools like smart school management systems, learning management software, communication tools etc. to help with teaching and learning. As a results in faster understanding, more learning of diverse materials that actually interests the students. It also means that students get a head start on becoming experts in what they are interested.
Personalizing and modernizing methods in teaching are very needed to transform the traditional way into tech-focused teaching. Teachers will be going to be innovative, and handful in using technology in teaching through the training that will be given to improve and develop their skill to cater the diverse learning. The country should go with the flow of digitization and should cater the needs of the future generation in order to produce trained, qualified professional that can be globalized and ready to face the digital-world work. As the industry grows, it is also the time that the innovation should not confined on the urban areas but it should make a way to reach the remote areas part of the country. The education 4.0 aims to let every learners be apart of the techno-world and to experience the digital tools in learning, these can be made possible if there’s a support from all stakeholder and business outside the institution.
Philippines are in need not only teachers that facilitates but also teachers that are connected in the modern world that can cater the needs of the techie-learners. At this moment of time, everybody should begin to move and to make a change with regards to the cyber-world in terms of teaching and learning processes. Start to build and an ally from the outside of the institution and start innovating plans and skills as a learner and a teacher of the modern world.
Let us work hand in hand with the advent of technology, there is always an assurance that the country’s pride will be the future generation that are competent, ready, and engaged thinker that can face the modernization in all aspect. Everyone should have the positive mindset that Philippines will be getting in there, to the country that has strong connection and a vast number of citizens that can contribute to the development of education and industry. I believe that we are taking a step to be completely established in our schools, the education. As the world is in the process of progress, it is improving and continually upgrading same as the education, and there is no doubt that we are raised to the fourth power – Education 4.0.
