Vocational education purpose is to produce ready-to-work graduates who have the relevant skills for current job employment. Entering the industrial revolution era 4.0 there were massive changes in various industries and workers' ability needs. This article intends to examine the implications of the industrial revolution 4.0 era for vocational education curriculum. Based on the study of various sources and business practices, it is necessary to develop vocational education curriculum that are in accordance with the era of industrial revolution 4.0 and relevant to answering the needs of new skills, such as the ability to create and manage coding, big data, and artificial intelligence. The vocational curriculum needs to apply blended learning, which integrates face-to-face and online learning, so as to more effectively build graduates' abilities and skills. The curriculum also needs to contain mastery of 4.0 competencies such as data literacy, technology literacy and human literacy. In order for the vocational education curriculum to have a broad impact, the government, educational institutions, industries must work together to revitalize the approach and content of the vocational education curriculum. Teachers must also be able to implement good learning to produce optimal graduate performance. Pendidikan vokasi merupakan pendidikan yang menghasilkan lulusan siap kerja yang memiliki keterampilan sesuai kebutuhan dunia kerja. Memasuki era revolusi indusri 4.0 terjadi perubahan yang masif pada perbagai industri dan kebutuhan kemampuan pekerja. Artikel ini bermaksud mengkaji implikasi era revolusi industri 4.0 bagi kurikulum pendidikan vokasi. Berdasarkan kajian berbagai sumber dan praktek bisnis, diperlukan pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan vokasi yang sesuai dengan era revolusi industri 4.0 dan relevan menjawab kebutuhan keterampilan baru, seperti kemampuan membuat dan mengelola coding, big data, dan artificial intelligence. Kurikulum vokasi perlu menerapkan pembelajaran blended learning, yang mengintegrasikan pembelajaran tatap muka dan online, supaya lebih efektif membangun kemampuan dan ketrampilan lulusan. Kurikulum juga perlu memuat penguasaan kompetensi 4.0 seperti literasi data, literasi teknologi dan literasi manusia. Agar kurikulum pendidikan vokasi menghasilkan dampak yang luas, pemerintah, lembaga pendidikan, industri harus bersinergi untuk merevitalisasi pendekatan dan isi kurikulum pendidikan vokasi. Pengajar juga harus dapat menyelenggarakan pembelajaran yang baik untuk menghasilkan kinerja optimal lulusan.

Blended Learning is a learning model that is enriched with traditional learning methods and online education materials. Integration of face-to-face and online learning with blending learning can enhance the learning experience and optimize seat time. In this chapter, the authors present the teaching of an Algorithm and Programming course in Computer Engineering Education via an artificial intelligence-supported blended learning approach. Since 2011, Computer Engineering education in Suleyman Demirel University Computer Engineering Department is taught with a blended learning method. Blended learning is achieved through a Learning Management System (LMS) by using distance education technology. The LMS is comprised of course materials supported with flash animations, student records, user roles, and evaluation systems such as surveys and quizzes that meet SCORM standards. In this chapter, the related education process has been supported with an intelligent program, which is based on teaching C programming language. In this way, it has been aimed to improve educational processes within the related course and the education approach in the department. The blended learning approach has been evaluated by the authors, and the obtained results show that the introduced artificial intelligence-supported blended learning education program enables both teachers and students to experience better educational processes.

Background: The field of implant dentistry education is rapidly evolving as new technologies permit innovative methods to teach the fundamentals of implant dentistry. Methods: Literature from the fields of active learning, blended learning, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, haptics, and mixed reality were reviewed and combined with the experience and opinions of expert authors. Both positive and negative aspects of the learning methods are presented. Results and Conclusion: The fundamental objectives of teaching and learning remain unchanged, yet the opportunities to reach larger audiences and integrate their learning into active experiences are evolving due to the introduction of new teaching and learning methodologies. The ability to reach a global audience has never been more apparent. Nevertheless, as much as new technology can be alluring, each new method comes with unique limitations.

This study focuses on the use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) smart speakers and smartphone applications for improving the English language skills of L1 Japanese undergraduates. An empirical investigation was carried out with 82 Japanese students. Participants were required to study a variety of online English programmes using AI speakers over an eight-month period. The results showed that students using AI speakers outperformed on the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) a group of non-AI users, who instead exclusively used online materials. This research suggests integrating blended learning, including AI and Virtual Reality (VR), may be an effective way to improve the English proficiency of native Japanese.

A constructivist approach to language learning can motivate students by activating their brains to create new knowledge and reflect more consistently and deeply on their language learning experience. The present study focused on assessing the use of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) speakers Google Home Mini and Amazon Alexa as part of a Blended Learning (BL) environment to improve the English skills of two groups of native Japanese undergraduates. The participants were 47 native speakers of Japanese, all third-year business majors at a private university in Tokyo. Pretest and posttest Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) scores, as well as results from a post-training survey, were used in evaluating the overall effectiveness of the program. Gains in TOEIC scores indicated the BL program incorporating AI speakers improved the students’ overall English skills, particularly listening comprehension. The results suggest the integration of AI, along with social media and 21st-century skills, may be an effective way to improve the English language proficiency of adult L2 learners.

Saat ini telah diterapkan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan teknologi seperti e-learning, online-learning ataupun blended learning. Untuk menghadapi Revolusi Industi 4.0 Indonesia berusaha meningkatkan tiga literasi, yaitu literasi teknologi untuk memahami cara kerja mesin, aplikasi teknologi (Coding/Programming, Artificial Intelligence, & Engineering Principles), literasi data untuk membaca, menganalisis, dan menggunakan informasi (Big Data) di dunia digital dan literasi manusia untuk kemampuan komunikasi, kolaborasi, berpikir kritis, kreatif dan inovatif serta memiliki keterampilan kepemimpinan, team work dan sebagainya. Pemerintah meluncurkan SPADA Indonesia untuk meningkatkan akses pendidikan tinggi yang bermutu di Indonesia. Generasi Z adalah generasi yang saat ini berada di perguruan tinggi, otomatis mereka jadi sasaran utama dalam pelaksanaan SPADA dan peningkatan ketiga literasi tersebut. Generasi Z memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda dengan generasi-generasi lain. Penelitian literature review ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah penerapan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan teknologi dapat meningkatkan atau justru melemahkan kemampuan literasi manusia pada Generasi Z di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah literature review. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran masih sulit untuk dapat meningkatkan literasi manusia pada Generasi Z karena mereka cenderung sulit berkomunikasi secara langsung, instan dan memudarkan nilai-nilai budaya dan agama.
