Student Mobility Management Model in the Context of Industry 4.0

The purpose of the research is to establish behavior patterns to facilitate the mobility of the students. In this article, we present a component of a model to manage student mobility in the context of Industry 4.0. The component, called SADEAF, is a Decision Support System, based on Felder's Index of Learning Styles. With this system, the learning style of the students can be identified in a digital way. Knowing the learning style of students can facilitate the management of student mobility and, in turn, also strengthen the self-knowledge of the students. The lecturers can use this information for partitioning the students into appropriate groups in the lectures and exercise sessions in university education. In this study, the SADEAF system was applied in two universities, one in Peru and the other in Germany, between 2017 and 2018. Descriptive statistics is used to present the preliminary results concerning the learning styles among the engineering students at these two universities.
