EDUCATION 5.0: CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND PERSPECTIVES FOR HUMAN EDUCATION IN THE AGE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

This article analyzes the challenges, opportunities and perspectives that Education 5.0 presents for human education in the context of emerging technologies. Through a narrative review of the scientific literature, publications indexed in SciELO, ERIC, the CAPES Journals Portal and Google Scholar were consulted, covering the period from 2021 to 2026. The results show that Education 5.0 transcends the instrumental limits of previous technological generations by proposing an articulation between advanced digital technologies and the centrality of integral human development. The main challenges are identified as insufficient teacher training, inequalities in access to digital infrastructure and the absence of integrated public policies. The opportunities include the personalization of learning through artificial intelligence (AI), the expansion of media resources and the consolidation of active methodologies. It is concluded that Education 5.0 requires not only technological updating, but an epistemological and ethical reorientation of the educational process, with direct implications for curricula, pedagogical practices and teacher training policies.
