Digital education is now one of the main drivers of the country's economic development. Mastery in digital skills is becoming increasingly important in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the internet of things as well as technology-based teaching and learning processes. However, all these agenda towards digital development is seen as a mere rhetorical statement if the digital divide is still wide in the country. Thus, this article takes the initiative to dismantle the digital education policy implementation in the country and also attempts to see how strategies will be applied to reduce the digital divide in education. Success in ensuring the reduction of the digital divide is important to further increase the rate of digital literacy and at the same time fostering the process of innovation in society. The emphasis on digital education is also seen in line with the 4th sustainable development goal which is to access quality education and the 10th goal which is to reduce inequality. The discussion from this concept paper then produces some recommendations for future research to studies on the aspects of policy and strategies improvement needed in bridging the digital divide in the country.

In the era of Industry 4.0, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) performs the driving position analogous to the initial industrial metamorphosis. IoT affords the potential to couple machine-to-machine intercommunication and real-time information-gathering within the industry domain. Hence, the enactment of IoT in the industry magnifies effective optimization, authority, and data-driven judgment. However, this field undergoes several interoperable issues, including large numbers of heterogeneous IoT gadgets, tools, software, sensing, and processing components, joining through the Internet, despite the deficiency of communication protocols and standards. Recently, various interoperable protocols, platforms, standards, and technologies are enhanced and altered according to the specifications of the applicability in industrial applications. However, there are no recent survey papers that primarily examine various interoperability issues that Industrial IoT (IIoT) faces. In this review, we investigate the conventional and recent developments of relevant state-of-the-art IIoT technologies, frameworks, and solutions for facilitating interoperability between different IIoT components. We also discuss several interoperable IIoT standards, protocols, and models for digitizing the industrial revolution. Finally, we conclude this survey with an inherent discussion of open challenges and directions for future research.

The Industrial Revolution caused major changes in the economy and advancement in technology. Specifically, IR4.0 stimulates the development of Education 4.0, in which the use of information, internet and technology become part of the teaching and learning process allowing students to learn at any time through digital platforms. Promoting for Education 4.0 involved challenges particularly constant changes in the teaching and learning techniques, and the facilities to cater to the technology demands. This study attempts to assess perceived challenges towards Education 4.0 implementation among the academicians at a comprehensive university and to explore the relationship between gender and perceived challenges among them. Based on purposive sampling, online questionnaires were distributed via google form to a population of 352 academicians in the selected comprehensive university. Data gathered from 127 responses were analysed using SPSS. The findings indicate the majority of the respondents perceived IT infrastructure as the main challenge, while the skills of individuals are the least challenges towards Education 4.0 implementation. However, there is no evidence of a significant association between gender and any of the perceived challenges items. Thus, regardless of male or female academicians, they have a similar perception of the challenges towards Education 4.0 implementation. The findings assist the Education 4.0 stakeholders to look into those perceived challenges and take necessary actions such as increasing budget allocation for IT facilities, as a support towards the success of Education 4.0 implementation. Future research may be undertaken to examine more specific infrastructure challenges in implementing education 4.0 at other comprehensive universities as well as at research universities and focused universities.

<p>This paper describes one way that teachers as educators can face the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0, namely by instilling and preparing creative and character-based leaders. Education as character building can be implemented using Ki Hajar Dewantara's leadership concepts, namely Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, and Tut Wuri Handayani. The concept of leadership was first adopted as a cooperative learning model which emphasized exemplariness in group learning. The group leader is called tuladha and is the facilitator of the group. Tuladha utilizes the Internet of Things. Before the teaching and learning process in class, information, concepts or ideas, and examples are posted by the teacher to the tuladha. This study is an experimental study with the sample used meeting the prerequisites of the statistical test used. The results showed that students' mathematical problem solving abilities increased significantly using the Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha cooperative learning model over the usual method. The category of improving students' mathematical problem solving abilities that obtain the Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha cooperative learning model is in the high category.</p>

  The role of Islamic education is a very strong foundation and becomes a reference of developing students’ character to face the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Era, and Islam is a source of truth and strength that can deliver ways on daily lives to achieve human character formation. Therefore, Islamic education is an important part of preparing the quality students. In other words, Islamic Education has a major contribution in the process of building students who have good character, have the ability to compete in the industrial revolution 4.0 era, have the ability to use global technology, and have the ability to adapt to the rapid development of technology. Islamic education is also expected to facilitate students to study hard consistently in order to face this era and students are expected to master sophisticated global technology without limits.    This study aims to describe and analyze the role of Islamic Education in building students’ character in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. To achieve the purposes of the study, this study used a qualitative method with a qualitative-naturalistic approach. Various data collection techniques used in this study are observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results shows that the role of Islamic Education in building students' character was carried out through the following activities; 1) Intra-curricular activities: in this activity, the teacher inserts characters in the teaching and learning process of all subjects namely Qu'ran hadith, Fiqh, History of Islamic Culture, Arabic, and Aqeedah Akhlak. The teacher connects directly with material of akhlaq or character 2) Extra-curricular activities include: Tilawatil Qur'an (reading the Qur'an) using digital literacy methods, Tahfidzul Qur'an (memorizing the Qur'an), Qitobha, Hadroh (Islamic Music) and Calligraphy. Through these two types of activities built several characters: religious, honest, fond of reading, responsible, independent, appreciating achievements, caring socially and hard work. By having the character, the students are ready to face the industrial era 4.0.

Digital Literacies

In the context of an increasingly global society and rapidly changing technology, English Language Learners (ELLs) need support to develop digital literacies to prepare for a future in which learning new technology is an intuitive process. In the past few decades, technological advances have been shifting how information is produced, communicated, and interpreted. The Internet and digital environments have afforded a broader range of opportunities for literacy practices to take place. Technology has transformed the social practices and definitions of literacy, which leads to transformative implications for the teaching and learning environments facing ELLs. Despite immigrants’ attraction to the US, the tension between the public school system and emergent bilingual students has garnered broad attention. There is a need for a more appropriate teaching pedagogy that embraces the cultural identities of ELLs, and empowers ELLs as critical consumers and producers of information. Though complex, the authors advocate for examining this issue using an asset perspective rather than a deficit lens. Using the sociocultural perspective of learning and critical theory, this paper aims to define and conceptualize ELL learning, establish a shared vision of digital literacies, and review the literature on how practices of digital literacies empower ELLs to become active learners. In the final section, implications and future research directions are articulated in order to move the digital literacy field forward.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has realised the fourth industrial revolution concept; however, its applications in the manufacturing industry are relatively sparse and primarily investigated without contextual peculiarities. Our research undertakes an intricate critical review to investigate significant aspects of IoT applications in the manufacturing Industry 4.0 perspective to address this gap. We adopt a systematic literature review approach by Denyer and Tranfield (2009) to carry out critical analyses that help develop future research domains based on empirical studies. We describe key knowledge gaps in the existing literature and empirical studies by exploring the main contribution categories and finding six critical differences between traditional and manufacturing Industry 4.0 and 10 enablers and 11 challenges of IoT applications. Finally, an agenda for future research is proposed with 11 research domains to focus on the recognised gaps.

The relevance of this research is substantiated by an interesting phenomenon that has occurred in the last decade: the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are based on digitalization of not only products and processes, but also people's behavior at work and outside it. &nbsp;The author reviews digital skills as the &ldquo;third basket&rdquo;, which is equally as significant as the &ldquo;baskets&rdquo; of professional and &ldquo;soft&rdquo; skills. Therefore, analysis is conducted on the experience of facts and cases presented by dozens of Russian and international educational institutions for determining the leading practices of digital education. The author describes the key determinants of digital literacy. The following conclusions were made : 1) digital education is based on the principles that differ drastically from other tools, sets new goals, focusing on the approaches that blow up the traditional university methods; 2) IBM &ldquo;Facing The Storm&rdquo; research indicates that massive shortage of digital skills among personnel is a storm that is brewing on the horizon; 3) research of the BFR (Big Fast Results) institute reflects the mechanism of implementing educational and managerial processes within the paradigm of digital literacy; 4) the presented research covers a wide range of empirical data, which allows all parties to the educational process to form digital learning environment strongly contributing to development of the currently relevant &ldquo;soft&rdquo; skills.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disordered the educational process across the globe, as schools suddenly had to provide their teaching in an online environment. One question that raised immediate concern is the potential effects of this forced and rapid digitalization on inequalities in the learning process by social class, migration background and sex. Elaborating on the literature on the digital divide, we study inequalities in digital preparedness of students and schools, before the pandemic took place. Using data from the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) on seven countries, and the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) on 45 countries, both from 2018, we demonstrate that schools and students vary in their preparedness for digital education, but that school variation is not systematically related to the student composition by socioeconomic and migration background. More important drivers for a digital divide in corona-times are the ICT skills students have, which are strongly related to socioeconomic background (known as the second level of the digital divide). We found little evidence for a hypothesized ‘fourth level’ of the digital divide, which would result from social gradients in the preparedness of school environments for digital education.

Abstract. Digitalization, enhanced storage capacities, and the Internet of Things increase the volume of data in modern organizations. To process and make use of these data and to avoid information overload, management information systems (MIS) are introduced that collect, process, and analyze relevant data. However, a precondition for the application of MIS is that users trust them. Extending accounts of trust in automation and trust in technology, we introduce a new model of trust in MIS that addresses the conceptual ambiguities of existing conceptualizations of trust and integrates initial empirical work in this field. In doing so, we differentiate between perceived trustworthiness of an MIS, experienced trust in an MIS, intentions to use an MIS, and actual use of an MIS. Moreover, we consider users’ perceived risks and contextual factors (e. g., autonomy at work) as moderators. The introduced model offers guidelines for future research and initial suggestions to foster trust-based MIS use.
