The holistic learning educational ecosystem: A classroom 4.0 perspective

Abstract The emergence of Industry 4.0 has inspired education to undergo a transformation and change its delivery lens. To adapt to the expectation of Industry 4.0, Education 4.0 has built a new interface for each stakeholder. The roles of these stakeholders have been remodelled, which in turn profoundly influences the way a new‐age learner learns. The seamless union of the vision of Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0 demands the establishment of a dais where each stakeholder will play out their assigned roles. The current study proposes a conceptual model of the holistic learning educational ecosystem. The study performs an extensive literature review of the current industry and educational set‐ups to evaluate the status quo. The analysis directs towards a new concept of Classroom 4.0, which will act as a bridge between Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0—hence devising a conceptual model of the holistic learning educational ecosystem. It will help create a borderless education environment which will be a reflection of the vision of Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0. Focusing on learning, development, self‐awareness and emotional stability, the paper suggests a way forward for the new generation. Current research will act as a bridge between global path‐breaking education research and implementation of in‐class teaching methods in higher education.
