Project: Teacher4.0 - comprehensive method of implementation of Industry 4.0
concept into didactic practice in primary and secondary schools

1. Project objectives

There is a growing challenge for educational systems, that is created by rapid digitalization
and Industry 4.0 processes. This tendency can be found not only in advanced industry, but also in
other fields. The Teacher 4.0 project is created to enhance professional development of teachers.
Through that it will strengthen teaching professions by helping them gain new professional skills and
knowledge related to the concept of Industry 4.0 and affiliated technologies. The project is focused
mostly on teachers teaching non-IT subjects in primary and secondary schools. Teacher 4.0 is
innovative in comparison to the previous projects. It is designed to target the new group of non-IT
subject teachers, develop an innovative training course and provide guidance in terms of awareness
and the ability to use Industry 4.0 possibilities in educating. It is the only project in the Erasmus +
Project Results Platform that is addressed to non-IT subject teachers in relation to Industry 4.0.

In order to achieve goals mentioned before, creators of the project established three specific
objectives:
• To extend and develop Non-IT subject teachers competences needed for effective teaching in
Industry 4.0 context.

school programs.
• To strength the capacity of Non-IT subject teachers to develop pupils’ critical thinking and
creativity through integration of innovative approaches into teaching process.

Due to the large scope of those objectives a selected consortium has been created. The consortium
consists of partners from five European Union countries. The partners are covering a wide range of
expertise and experience related to the range and aims of the Teacher
4.0 project. The partnering organizations come from different professional fields and bring in various
competences. to the project. Consortium consists of:
