Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to explore factors that contribute to institutional innovation readiness for Industry 4.0 education from the perspective of institutional experts and to develop a conceptual model for inclusive Industry 4.0 education. The study involves semi-structured interviews with 28 managers and strategists from various triple helix (i.e. educational, industrial and governmental) institutions in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Using thematic analysis and guided by a constructivist perspective, the study finds sets of themes for reform essentialities and value expectancies associated with institutional innovation for Industry 4.0 education. Reform essentialities pertain to educational system flexibility and funding, school curriculum revision and restructuring and high-performance talent and training. Similarly, value expectancy entails skills-focused programmes for lifelong and project-based learning, students-focused programmes for agile and responsive specialities, public-oriented programmes for empowering and transforming mind-sets and research-oriented programmes for developing and sustaining competencies. Managerially, this study stresses the need for multi-level (i.e. organisational-institutional-regional) strategic alignment that promotes and enhances co-evolution of institutions with technological advances. The study also highlights the practical role of programme-driven innovation for institutions to focus strategic foresight and readiness to cope with Industry 4.0 education demands through skills-focused, students-focused, public-oriented and research-oriented programmes.

工业4.0教育的制度创新准备:巴林王国的包容性模式

摘要本研究旨在从机构专家的角度探讨促进工业4.0教育机构创新准备的因素，并建立包容性工业4.0教育的概念模型。该研究涉及对巴林王国不同三螺旋（即教育、工业和政府）机构的28名管理人员和战略家的半结构化采访。本研究采用主题分析法，在建构主义视角的指导下，找到了与工业4.0教育制度创新相关的改革重要性和价值预期的主题集。改革的重要性涉及教育系统的灵活性和资金、学校课程的修订和重组以及高绩效人才和培训。同样，期望值包括终身和基于项目的学习的以技能为重点的方案，敏捷和反应灵敏的专业的以学生为重点的课程，增强和转变心态的以公众为导向的方案，以及发展和维持能力的以研究为导向的课程。从管理角度来看，本研究强调了多层次（即组织-机构-区域）战略调整的必要性，以促进和加强机构与技术进步的共同发展。该研究还强调了计划驱动型创新的实际作用，使各机构能够通过以技能为重点、以学生为重点、面向公众和以研究为导向的计划，集中战略远见和准备应对工业4.0教育需求。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
