Abstract

AZEVEDO, Ana I.; CARAMELO, João  and  SILVA, Sofia Marques da,. The impacts of industry 4.0 on the territory and on the pedagogical practices of trainers. Laboreal [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, e18410.  Epub Dec 03, 2021. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.18410.

The changes resulting from recent technological advances, in the context of industry 4.0, driven either by the rapid development of ICTs or by the COVID-19 pandemic, which, among others consequences led to a substantial part of the population living in a situation of teleworking, made us reflect on the possible impact of these changes in the trainers’ activities. Based on the analysis of the Portuguese industrial context and a national survey, administered between December 2020 and April 2021, answered by 1.586 trainers, we sought to listen to their perceptions about the main changes in the world of work and in their professional role arising mainly from the 4th industrial revolution (i4.0). It is concluded that there is an unequal distribution of industries across national territory, which may explain differences in training practices that can, however, be mitigated through the use of inherent technologies arising from the 4.0 industry itself.

Keywords : industry 4.0; digitization; distance learning; cyberphysical territory; training of trainers.
