Abstract

This paper presents results of a focus group that gathered data from principals of several public schools in Catalonia regarding the educational impact of Industry 4.0 technologies. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn from qualitative analysis with a view to improving smart classrooms via educational innovation. Results show that the schools see development and implementation of technology leveraging Industry 4.0 as necessary for future classrooms, always based on knowledge and pedagogical principles. Furniture, lighting, acoustics, and air quality are parameters that need to be adjusted in a smart classroom. Technologies such as internet of things, artificial intelligence, and big data make it possible to automate these adjustments, with a risk that the economic cost of such developments could create a gap between schools. Further research in other contexts or countries could report slightly different results. Nevertheless, this paper offers a qualified perspective from school principals about what industry should work on in order to develop smart classrooms, and why.

智能教室的发展:学校的观点和需求

本文介绍了一个焦点小组的结果，该小组从加泰罗尼亚几所公立学校的校长那里收集了关于工业4.0技术对教育影响的数据。从定性分析中得出结论和建议，以期通过教育创新来改善智能教室。结果显示，学校认为开发和实施利用工业4.0的技术是未来课堂的必要条件，始终基于知识和教学原则。家具、照明、音响和空气质量是智能教室需要调整的参数。物联网、人工智能和大数据等技术使这些调整的自动化成为可能，但这种发展的经济成本可能会在学校之间造成差距。在其他背景或国家的进一步研究可能会报告略有不同的结果。尽管如此，本文还是从学校校长的角度提供了一个合格的观点，即为了发展智能教室，哪些行业应该开展工作，以及为什么要这样做。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
