EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR THE CITIZENS OF SMART SOCIETIES
Abstract
The Future of humanity
is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new innovative technologies in our
lives. Although, primarily these
technologies were developed to enhance our efficiency and ease our routine
tasks, conversely, they have disrupted our lives and became essential
necessities for us. In this era of Internet of Things (IoT), the ever
increasing demand of competitiveness and quest for perfection has raised the
bars for competence level required in all walks of life. The citizens of Smart
Societies of the future will have to enhance their knowledge, skills and
expertise in newer dimensions of cognition which were never considered
mandatory in the recent past. We are witnessing the dawn of a technological
revolution in which robots will replace the ordinary workers (Industry 4.0),
unimaginably fast mobile communication (5G) will connect billions of autonomous
devices, and Quantum Super Computers that will perform 100 million times faster
than our standard laptops. This is essentially a paradigm shift that requires
non trivial forms of teaching and learning methods for preparing the millennial
students of today and future-proof workers of tomorrow to succeed in the
increasingly complex and digitally driven AI based Smart Societies.(in the increasingly
complex and digitally driven Smart Societies). We discuss in this paper the challenges posed
and their possible solutions by positively introducing these new technologies
in pedagogy, curriculum design, ICT skills and outcome based education.
