IoT, 6G, education 4.0Abstract
This study examines several studies that integrate IoT technologies and 6G networks with education 4.0. Other disruptive technologies are also identified that will be important to implement in technological education curricula. An exhaustive search was carried out in various databases, using keywords with their respective search logic, applying filters to determine selection or elimination, reaching 38 articles. The results show growing interest in the potential of these technologies to transform education, although specific research in this area is still limited. Opportunities were identified to improve the personalization of learning, collaboration between students and preparation for the future of work, especially with disruptive technologies. In conclusion, it is more feasible to integrate education 4.0 with the IoT and 6G networks are still under development alongside industry 5.0.
