Components of education 4.0 in open innovation competence frameworks: Systematic review

Abstract

Development of competencies for Open Innovation (OI) plays a very important role since new skills and abilities are required at all levels: to design and adapt products and processes, to develop new business models and to modify the organization of work and processes. This paper analyzes Education 4.0 features, main components, and characteristics; adaptation of teaching and learning practices to changed requirements of Industry 4.0 for the successful implementation of the Open Innovation model. This paper systematically reviews a total of 48 WoS and Scopus studies, ultimately allowing us to determine components of Education 4.0 used in the framework of the OI model in recent years. Four research questions have been directed to data analysis. The results showed that (a) there is little literature research on issues related to important aspects in the dynamics of open innovation (partnerships, critical thinking, self-assessment, leadership, friendships, and risk-taking); (b) the main literature focuses on a comprehensive study of knowledge and skill parameters, application of appropriate strategies for their development, there are gaps in character development and meta-learning; (c) there is a noticeable lack of research on the competence framework of OI aimed at schoolchildren and the use of learning and teaching strategies to strengthen open educational innovations in schools; and d) there is a lack of research on development of OI competencies using cloud resources. This paper is intended for researchers, education and open innovation experts interested in the possibilities of educational technologies for the further dynamic development of the OI model.
