Answer concisely this question: How important is computer programming, robotics, and
data coding in Education 4.0? (15 points)

In line of the fast changing and the constant appearance of technologies brought
by the Industrial evolution 4.0, the education system needs to cope with this. The
education 4.0 introduces new techniques to meet the global standard and to uplift the
education of the students that is conducive to their interest. Our students in today’s
generation are very tech savvy, they are highly motivated by the modernization and
very interested in internet and computers. Computer programming, robotics, and data
coding are integral part of executing education 4.0 in our classroom.

Let’s begin with the importance of computer programming. Computers have

provided limitless learning resources and made education more flexible and accessible.
Children now have access to global libraries that include online video tutorials and free
e-books that help them learn subjects quickly. Students must rely on literature provided
in the classroom or in libraries if they do not have access to a computer. And if they
don't comprehend the material, they'll have to study with restricted resources. There's
no need to complete the traditional approach of presenting assignments and reports
when they may be done online. Because so much of our world is automated, computer
programming is essential nowadays.

Next, we have robotics. Educational robotics, also known as pedagogical

robotics, is a discipline that aims to teach kids to robotics and programming through
hands-on activities starting at a young age. Educational robotics provides students with
everything they need to simply build and program a robot capable of performing
numerous tasks in baby and primary education. For secondary and higher education,
there are also more advanced and more expensive robots. In any event, the discipline's

difficulty is always adjusted to the pupils' age. Educational robotics is a part of STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, which is a teaching
style that combines science, mathematics, and technology while emphasizing practice
over theory. What are the ways in which reboots can help students? Educational robots
assist students in developing one of the fundamental cognitive skills of mathematics
reasoning at a young age: computational thinking, through play. That is, they aid in the
development of the mental process we use to solve issues of all kinds by following a set
of steps.

Lastly, the importance of Coding in Educational Spectrum. It is very significant to

our students to prepare for the new age reality, nurture problem-solving qualities,
enables brain development, develops creative skills, and knows how to build strong
characters.
