Assessment of University Students' Industry 4.0 Conceptual Awareness Levels

Conceptual Framework

In a rapidly digitalizing world, screens occupy more and more time in daily life. Data is constantly being generated from different sources. There is fierce competition for the information produced to attract the attention of consumers on different platforms (Bauer et al., 2015:419). In this context, Industry 4.0, in other words, the 4th Industrial Revolution affects the developments in the economic, social and political fields on a global scale. This issue is too complex and multidimensional to be evaluated only in terms of production systems (Kolberg & Zuhlke, 2015:1872; Gulicheva et al., 2017:132). Raising awareness of these different practices and technologies is extremely important. It is important for businesses to follow the changes and integrate them into their systems, and for educational institutions to implement them (Obitko & Jirkovský, 2015:219).
