Challenges for Higher Education Institutions in addressing the Disruptions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
Abstract
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is a transformation in the way humans work, socialize and live. The workforce interacts with intelligent technology to solve problems, improve productivity, meet goals and promote competitiveness. 4IR involves developing disciplinary and social skills in the management of organizations. This work described the skills of the academic staff of a mexican public university in reading comprehension, numerical calculation, and problem solving in technology rich environments. Statistical evidence is presented on teacher preference in distance education, and that teachers with higher academic qualifications participate less in formal training activities. Another finding is that there is a need to participate in courses or private classes for specialized disciplinary training topics. In relation to the topics that trigger the 4IR, programming skills and use of statistics or advanced mathematics are not among the capabilities that teachers possess. In addition, it is reported that teachers do not frequently publish scientific literature. The development of superior intellectual skills is still an area of opportunity that requires an intelligent and urgent management strategy.
