Estos retos implican cambios significativos en los modelos de enseñanza y la incorporación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En el mundo actual, donde se ha asumido la necesidad de la formación a lo largo de la vida y las tecnologías han pasado a tener un papel relevante, la educación está abocada a replantearse sus objetivos en la formación de un profesional en educación, con habilidades prácticas, conocimientos, motivación, valores éticos, actitudes, emociones y a la incorporación del concepto de competencia digital para lograr una acción eficaz ante las demandas crecientes de las sociedades y las nuevas pautas socioculturales. Los cambios exigidos en torno a la formación profesional vienen apoyados en la necesidad de establecer modelos educativos que se adapten a un contexto formativo que dé respuesta a las transformaciones que se generan dentro de su ámbito profesional. Palabras clave: sociedad del conocimiento; era digital; era de la electrónica; formación profesional. This article incorporates a series of considerations related to the new challenges, demands and commitments faced by university institutions in charge of training professionals in the so-called knowledge society, digital and electronic era. These challenges imply significant changes in teaching models and the incorporation of information and communication technologies. In today's world, where the need for lifelong learning has been assumed and technologies have come to play a relevant role, education is doomed to rethink its objectives in the training of a professional in education, with skills practices, knowledge, motivation, ethical values, attitudes, emotions and the incorporation of the concept of digital competence to achieve effective action in the face of the growing demands of societies and new socio-cultural guidelines. The changes demanded around vocational training are supported by the need to establish educational models that adapt to a training context that responds to the transformations that are generated within their professional field. Keywords: knowledge society; digital age; electronics age; vocational training.
This book provides a thorough and detailed analysis of how the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ shapes educational practices. It unpacks the impact of current educational reform discourse that ...focuses on the individual pupil as a learner, while neglecting the social dimensions of classroom practices. In view of the yet unknown requirements of the knowledge economy, students are demanded to take more responsibility for their learning and to become self-reliant, independent, lifelong learners. In turn, teachers are asked to tailor education to the individual needs of their students and to foster their individual learning trajectories. Based on in-depth fieldwork and long-term observation of interactions in classrooms and other scholastic settings, scholars from three European countries – France, Germany and Switzerland – show how the translation of the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ into classrooms is shaped by distinct cultural traditions. Chapters analyse teaching routines and conceptions of self-reliance involved in autonomy-oriented settings and discuss how these change the sociality of the classroom. They scrutinize how autonomy is used to differentiate between students and how it contributes to the reproduction of social inequality. The book brings into dialogue two neighbouring research traditions that research autonomous learning from a sociological perspective and which have largely ignored each other until now. In so doing, the contributions engage a critical perspective for a careful empirical analysis in order to better understand what is being done in the name of autonomy. Providing insight into the many facets of developing and nurturing self-standing pupils across various educational contexts, this is ideal reading for scholars in the field of education, as well as teachers and decision-makers across the educational sector.
The problem associated with development by ICTs is a root of controversies. Despite the present context characterized by the intensive use of information in many activities, the contribution of ICTs ...to development remains contested. This has particularly been so for Africa where these tools are generally considered by their detractors as an unproductive luxury with respect to classical development priorities. Without undermining the pertinence of these arguments, this study seeks to present its weaknesses and to demonstrate, through theoretical reasoning with supporting examples, that ICTs are today a decisive factor for development in Africa, and even a prerequisite to its realisation. The study is also based on the rich literature about ICTs for development issues.
One of the most recent topics in smart cities is community engagement which has been generally deliberated in both industrial and academic literature around the approaches and tools employed in urban ...environment. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to advocate for community engagement as a key driver that supports the acquisition of knowledge and requirements needed for innovation and creativity towards achieving an equitable community for social sustainability. A semi-systematic review method is adopted to analyze 71 sources from Web of Science and Scopus databases. Secondary data from the literature is extracted and synthesized to provide narrative and descriptive analysis. Findings from this study presents a developed model that can support community engagement for urban innovation by specifying factors that influences community engagement for smart sustainable city development. The model enables citizens, policy makers, government, urban planners, academics, and enterprises in urban environment to connect, interact, engage, and co-create innovative services. More importantly findings from this research provides theoretical evidence on administrative and non-administrative stakeholder’s involvement towards co-creation of urban services towards smart sustainable cities. Furthermore, this study provides recommendation on how community engagement perspective involving different stakeholders can help to achieve resilient technological driven city by supporting sustainable development and ultimately actualizing a socially inclusive urban space.

Industry 4.0 revolutionizes the concept of automation and digitization within the organization leading to immense interest in academia and industry. The digitization of an organization in terms of ...horizontal, vertical, and end-to-end integration would change the roles an employee discharges in an organization. The main purpose of the paper is to successfully develop an employee adaptability road map for the successful implementation of Industry 4.0. This paper critically analyses the previous studies to develop a roadmap of employee adaptability skills for the successful implementation of Industry 4.0. This study uses deductive methodology using a systematic literature review to group and thematically analyse 52 articles to develop the conceptual model. Besides, this study also ranks these dimensions using an empirical study and finds the most critical employee adaptability dimensions. This is the first systematic literature review and empirical study carried out on employee adaptability skills in Industry 4.0.
The article is dedicated to the growing social role of universities under knowledge society and its revision during wartime and post-war revival. This role has not received due attention of Ukrainian ...scholars and higher education stakeholders; on the contrary, in western academic discourse university third mission (also referred to as social mission) is actively discussed and several studies on university roles during conflict and post-conflict recovery are available. The article aims at conceptualization of university third mission relevant for Ukraine’s higher education of today as the country is striving towards knowledge society, higher education modernization and its alignment with European Higher Education Area, as well as fighting against Russian Federation aggression and planning economic recovery and national revival. Knowledge is a key concept in interpretation and definitions of three university missions: knowledge is generated or produced via research (second mission); it is disseminated and promoted via teaching and learning (first mission); the essence of the third / social mission is to apply knowledge for problem-solving and general societal benefit. Application of knowledge is not limited to technological innovations and know-hows and covers social, humanitarian, cultural, business and entrepreneurship, economic, political and other domains. Knowledge is becoming the major problem-solving tool; and demand for knowledge is growing among different categories of knowledge workers engaged in problem definition, decision-making and implementation in different economic sectors and spheres of life. Problems and challenges incurred by war make them the most serious grievances of today’s Ukraine. Multiple challenges faced by Ukrainian society, economy, territories, industries will require the wisdom of all Ukrainian higher education institutions and knowledge workers and can only be addressed effectively via innovative approaches and mobilization of many partners: local and international, academic and non-academic, private and public, non-profit and commercial. Due to their specific features (multidiscipline expertise, access to international knowledge sharing and good practices exchange, non-profit focus, multiple perspectives and diversity of opinions), universities like no other institutions are well-positioned to establish and run partnerships, project consortia, lead innovation ecosystems, catalyse and contribute to reconstruction and revival processes.
