The Synergy of Educational Technology Advancement and Human Capabilities in the Era of Society 5.0

Abstract

In the field of education, the synergy between the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 gives a new perspective in the learning process. Education nowadays transcends location and time and may take place without the need for a classroom. Education is becoming more open and accessible, which implies that technological improvements might make it easier for us to carry out the learning process. Furthermore, a pandemic has just evolved, which not only has a detrimental influence but also delivers advantages. The presence of a pandemic in learning necessitates the ability of academics and learners to respond to these changes. By utilizing technological advances in learning, the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0, as well as the pandemic, developed a synergy that increases individuals’ ability to adapt fast to changes that occur. Rapid technology advancements must be compatible with the skills and adaptability of individuals who operationalize technical outcomes. This research shows that technology is not a tool that can replace humans in their roles, but the existence of more advanced technology may make human life easier, particularly in the field of education, so that education can be more adaptive to the times and more imaginative in planning its demands. Society 5.0 is a period in which technology is integrated with human beings. As a result, developments in information technology must be matched with a supporting educational curriculum in order to produce people with soft skills that can compete globally
