In fact, rapid convergence between Education 4.0 and Industry 4.0 demands adaptive learning models that would equip people with future-ready skills in the dynamically changing workforce. This work introduces AI-augmented skill development roadmaps, underlining how to design and implement personalized 12-month learning paths. The proposed framework is based on data-driven learner profiling, machine learning algorithms, and continuous adaptive assessments for optimization of building individual learning pathways toward emerging technology trends alignment. This review will be predicated on existing AI applications in competency development, identifying gaps in conventional models. It also involves the holistic roadmap structure: milestones, phases, and progression metrics. Case studies of real-world examples would then be delivered where AI-powered learning pathways have resulted in targeted competency development, employability, and lifelong learning. The key performance indicators will be defined to provide the effectiveness of the framework for scalability and adaptability. The findings bring to the fore that AI can cause a paradigm shift in skill gaps through enabling personalized learning at scale and furthering strategic goals related to Industry 4.0. This research makes a substantial contribution to the development of scalable education models for essential competencies that are part of the fast-evolving facets of digitalization. © 2024 IEEE.

Energy specialists in various nations, including Malaysia, are currently engaged in discussions around the subject of renewable energy. Nevertheless, Malaysia's capacity to harness renewable energy remains underutilized due to a deficiency of educational programs focusing on this domain in schools and universities. To address this issue, innovative and effective learning models are being developed to improve the knowledge, skills, and attitude of students specifically in Klang Valley communities and mainly in Putrajaya. It is important to note that following a procedure is essential to ensure user safety and maintain the integrity of the process. This paper presents the development of a comprehensive training kit designed to enhance project-based learning for off-grid solar panel installation. The training kit aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application by providing hands-on, interactive learning experience. It includes detailed instructional materials, interactive simulations, and real-world scenario exercises that guide learners through the entire installation process-from site assessment to system maintenance. The study utilizes a quasi-experimental design employing the One Group Pre-test and Post-test Design model, supported by Aiken's V index for hardware assessment and the Cronbach Alpha method for statistical validation involving 86 respondents. User feedback on the integration of the kit into learning, based on Cronbach Alpha and Aiken V averaging 76.8%, emphasizing its effectiveness and significance. During the trial phase, significant improvement was observed in learning outcomes, with 85.8% of participants demonstrating excellent competency. In conclusion, the training kit proves to be highly effective in teaching essential skills for solar panel installation, offering a hands-on approach that enhances practical understanding. © 2024 IEEE.

The Mexican Dual Training Model (in Spanish, Modelo Mexicano de Formación Dual, MMFD) combines education in schools with in-company training. This article investigates the level of satisfaction towards the company, school and the MMFD, as well as the perception of improvement in skills, competencies and knowledge among graduates of the Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Tecnológica- a MMFD-based higher education institution in the states of Mexico and Coahuila. The information was gathered by means of a survey in which the participants show high levels of satisfaction (on average 3.5 points on a scale of 1 to 4). However, satisfaction levels are consistently higher at the company than at school (on average .09 points); and also higher in Coahuila than in the State of Mexico (on average 0.7 points). Additionally, 60% of the participants notice that their work, interpersonal and decision-making skills improved a lot, while only 26% consider that their mathematical knowledge improved. © 2024 Consejo Mexicano de Investigacion Educativa.

Critical thinking skills are essential for students in the 21st century. Through this skill, a person can solve problems systematically to reach rational and logical conclusions. Critical thinking skills can be improved by using appropriate media and learning models in the classroom. This research focuses on the influence of using Game-Based learning (GBL) media taught using the Problem-Based learning (PBL) model on students' critical thinking skills in science learning with the topic of earth structure. This research is quantitative research using a pre-experimental design through a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique was carried out using cluster random sampling, and a research sample of 32-grade seventh students at SMP Negeri 1 Sampit was obtained in the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. Data collection techniques are carried out using tests. The data analysis technique used is a paired sample t-test. The research results show that science learning using GBL media with the PBL model can improve students' critical thinking skills with a two-sided p-significance value of <0.001 and a Cohen's d effect size of 0.972, included in the large category. All indicators of critical thinking skills have increased, with the highest increase occurring in the analyzing indicator and the lowest increase in the evaluating indicator. Based on these results, learning using GBL media and the PBL model can be a recommended science learning strategy. © 2024 IEEE.

The utilization of virtual laboratories is an effort in the era of digital technological advances to achieve maximum learning objectives. Vocational High School (VHS) aims to produce productive age human resources who are ready to work. In addition, vocational schools emphasize aspects of softskills the needs of industry 4.0 and social development 5.0 including 4C skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creative). The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to present information on the utilization of virtual laboratories in the vocational sector. Articles were searched through the Scopus, Dimensions, ERIC, Taylor & Francis and Springer databases. 326 suitable articles were collected from 2021-2024 and 132 articles were further analyzed. We used VOSviewer software to classify and visualize co-occurrence and citations. The information presented in this review can be used as a starting point for future research on the topic of vocational education virtual laboratories. © 2024 IEEE.

This research paper addresses the complexity of improving STEM education and mathematics achievement of indigenous students, better known as Orang Asli, in primary schools in Johor, Malaysia. The study highlights the educational disparities of the Orang Asli community and emphasizes the need for culturally tailored and linguistically supportive interventions. The study uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze academic achievement data. Significant challenges that hinder Orang Asli students' abilities in Mathematics and STEM subjects are identified. The discussions show that strategies such as incorporating ethnomathematics - linking cultural knowledge to mathematical concepts, and code-switching in the classroom can effectively bridge the gap between students' cultural backgrounds and the academic curriculum. These recommendations are in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. The article concludes with actionable policy suggestions that advocate for the integration of culturally sensitive teaching methods to improve the academic performance of Orang Asli students. The importance of community engagement and longitudinal studies in evaluating the effectiveness of such interventions is emphasized. The findings presented are intended to effect change in educational practices and create an inclusive learning environment for Orang Asli children and by extension, other indigenous populations worldwide - contributing to the overarching goal of educational equity. This study is in line with the aspirations of the Malaysian Education Plan and contributes to two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG4 (Quality Education) and SDG10 (Reduce Inequalities). © 2024 IEEE.
