Propensity for the transition towards Education 5.0 in the training of engineers. Case Study in Mexico.

Abstract

The industry is rapidly changing from a 4.0 phase to a 5.0 phase, more focused on the development of people who form a 5.0 society. Generating this type of society implies preparing institutions that train professionals with a 5.0 Education. The objective of this research is to determine the level of propensity of teachers and students of the Technological Institute of Higher Studies of Cuautitlán Izcalli, to use emerging technological tools as well as collaborative work in the appropriate context to implement Education 5.0 in the academic plans for the training of engineers that it currently provides, and with an orientation to comply with the pedagogical bases of the New Mexican School. The results show that teachers do use digital platforms within their teaching process and that students do know how to use these technologies, although they do not use them extensively in their learning process. The proposal is the inclusion of a didactic that involves dialectical teaching-learning techniques, situated in their community, generating critical thinking and the necessary skills to work collaboratively.
