THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION 5.0 AT THE AGE OF INNOVATION

Abstract

This article examines the development of Education 5.0 in the age of innovation as a new paradigm for the modernisation of education systems within the context of society’s digital transformation. The relevance of the study stems from the need to train specialists capable of operating effectively in conditions of rapid technological change, uncertainty and global challenges, which requires a rethinking of the content, forms and methods of teaching. The paper analyses the theoretical and conceptual foundations of Education 5.0 and identifies its key characteristics, including human-centredness, the integration of innovative technologies, personalised learning and the development of 21st-century competences. Particular attention is paid to the role of innovation as a determining factor in the transformation of the educational process, specifically the use of artificial intelligence, digital platforms, data analytics and virtual learning environments. It is argued that Education 5.0 is aimed at fostering critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy and the capacity for lifelong learning. The study concludes that the effective development of Education 5.0 is possible provided that technological innovations are combined with humanistic values and equal access to educational resources is ensured.
