TRANSFORMATIVE PEDAGOGIES FOR THE FUTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION 5.0

Education 5.0 represents a shift towards human-centered learning, focusing on creativity, emotional intelligence, ethical values, sustainability, and lifelong learning, rather than traditional rote memorization. This approach promotes transformative pedagogies, engaging learners as active participants in their education. With the advent of the digital age and the challenges presented by global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, educational systems must evolve to be more adaptable, inclusive, and resilient. The key principles of Education 5.0 include the development of C3E skills—Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Emotional Intelligence—vital for success in a rapidly changing world. The pedagogy emphasizes active, learner-centered classrooms where both students and educators engage in critical thinking, reflection, and dialogue. Engaged pedagogy further advocates for emotional, social, and intellectual development by fostering an inclusive environment where all students’ voices are valued. Similarly, challenged pedagogy pushes for critical reflection on traditional teaching practices, advocating for more inclusive, reflective, and socially just methods. Ultimately, readiness for the future in education requires collaboration from institutions, educators, students, and parents to create a flexible and supportive learning environment. Together, these efforts ensure that education empowers learners to thrive in a dynamic world.
