Hello, CIDER members – Dear CIDER member, You are invited to our upcoming session of the 2022-23 CIDER Sessions series on Wednesday, December 7, 2022. This free, online session will feature Jeanne Kim from Selkirk College discussing the relationship between Heutagogy and Education 4.0. The Interconnectivity of Heutagogy and Education 4.0 in Higher Online Education Jeanne Kim December 7, 2022, 11am MT http://www.cideresearch.ca/session/kim-2022 Industry 4.0 advancements in technology are creating a dynamic and fast changing world that affects how we live and work. Educators need to rethink existing teaching approaches to better prepare students for future careers that Industry 4.0 will create. The World Economic Forum (WEF) defined a new education model, called Education 4.0, which contains eight major changes to redefine learning in the new economy. Heutagogy, or self-determined learning, is an approach that promotes critical thinking, social-emotional skills, and life-long learning. These skills are necessary for Education 4.0. The purpose of this presentation is to examine how Heutagogy in higher online education can meet the needs of Education 4.0. The approach of the study examines existing literature on Education 4.0 and Heutagogy. A conceptual model that interconnects Heutagogy to the learning principles of Education 4.0 will be offered as a key finding to answer the research question: How does Heutagogy in higher online education meet the needs of Education 4.0? The paper provides a base for further research and discussion into how Heutagogy and other approaches can support the needs of Education 4.0 to prepare learners for a changing world. Registration is not required; all are welcome.
