The acceleration of digital technologies and its meaning for
theorizing TVET talent development at the interface
between education and industry

From an educational perspective developing talents for
industry 4.0 cannot be understood without a media didactic
framing. As there are only single pieces of a theory of digital
learning available so far, the author suggests discussing the
acceleration of digital technologies and its meaning for
theorizing TVET talent development at the interface between
education and industry.

Digitization is accompanied by the transformation of
analogue media formats and communications into
(permanent) digital mediatisation. This leads in particular to
changing roles and representation of human actors in knowledge development
(research) as well as knowledge distribution (education) towards data-based
representations of all (!) actors. Since this has not yet been modelled theoretically,
it can be assumed that such a modelling in form of a media-didactic theory can
provide a renewed understanding of how talent development may be designed -
especially for Industry 4.0.

Any media didactic framework must derive design approaches for meeting the
complexity in digitized worlds. Indeed it is discussed design approaches in theory
versus implementation may take into account (educational) roles in order to support
the educational process effectively. Especially data-based versus object-based
versus personal representation does not only allow but necessarily lead to multiple
representations. However, those representations may even be possibly without
implementing classical educational roles carried out by human actors.

What might be a basic conclusion? The above mention actors (experts,
educationalists, learners and virtual supports) meet each other (possibly exclusively)
