Adapting to the Industry 4.0 Era: Transdisciplinary IoT Education

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology and industrial transformation are leading to significant changes in education. This chapter focuses on transdisciplinary approaches, which play a crucial role in imparting 21st-century skills and reshaping the education system. Critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, creative thinking, communication, and collaboration have become indispensable for the modern workforce and society. In this context, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education emerges as a model aimed at developing interdisciplinary thinking skills. The integration of IoT (Internet of Things) technology into STEM education with a transdisciplinary approach can enhance the educational process by providing students with opportunities to work on real-world applications. This chapter thoroughly examines how teachers and students can use IoT technology to accelerate the transformation in transdiciplinary STEM education and adapt to Industry 4.0.
