“…There, action-based learning seems to have positive effects on subject-related competence development, improves the transfer of knowledge and motivates learners, because of the realistic workplace scenario (Lanza et al 2016;Nickolaus 2019). These high-tech learning environments are particularly well-suited for developing problem solving skills (Abele et al 2019). These considerations on competence development should be partially transferable from the tertiary education sector to technical vocational schools (Scheid 2018).…”

“…The researchers and participating teachers discussed several opportunities to measure competence development within this topic. Previous research used written examinations for competence evaluation linked to Learning Factories 4.0 (Abele et al 2019;Liebrecht et al 2017). Hence, written exams were identified as an economical way to measure and evaluate competence development within the setting of an on-going school year.…”

“…Hence, written exams were identified as an economical way to measure and evaluate competence development within the setting of an on-going school year. Therefore, the complex competence constructs were measured through open questions including the specific settings (Abele et al 2019). The researchers provided the part of the written exam focusing on multidisciplinary digital competencies.…”

“…Every action of the technical vocational students which dealt in some way with Learning Factories 4.0 was counted. The authors did not distinguish between the quality of each learning process on the Learning Factories 4.0 as long as the students solved hands-on and action-oriented tasks with or on the Learning Factories 4.0 (Abele et al 2019;. Quartiles were calculated based on the time spans in Table 1.…”

“…The setting of TP2 4 weeks after TP1 had practical reasons, because all teachers and classes were available for a maximum of 4 weeks after TP1 was absolved. After the tests were completed, the answers were deductively rated and correspondingly graded with points (Abele et al 2019). However, the graded points were transformed into Likert scales for further analysis.…”

Learning Factories 4.0 are thought to prepare vocational students for the challenges of Industry 4.0. The implementation of those interconnected Learning Factories 4.0 at technical vocational schools may promote the development of subject-related technical competencies as well as multidisciplinary digital competencies. Still, research is scarce with regard to the development of competencies supported through Learning Factories 4.0 in technical vocational schools. Hence this research focusses on subject-related technical and multidisciplinary digital competencies of technical vocational students change due to different levels of Learning Factory 4.0 interaction over time. Three subsequent competence tests with N = 63 technical vocational students were conducted. Findings indicate the benefits of integrating Learning Factories 4.0 for developing subject-related competencies in technical vocational schools. However, the study could not identify a positive development of multidisciplinary digital competencies. The findings of this study can help educators to further develop learning environments with support from Learning Factories 4.0 as well as preparing their learners for the demanding competencies of Industry 4.0.

Entrepreneurship scholars have focused their research on compiling a list of competencies that enhance entrepreneurial behaviour. Yet, these efforts might be redundant as new competencies are necessary in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Furthermore, previous research investigated entrepreneurial competencies (ECs) from a developed country perspective. This paper follows two phases in identifying ECs for the 4IR in a developing country context. During phase 1, a Delphi study is employed, whereby 12 participants provide 108 ECs (round 1) and 87 ECs (round 2) required for the 4IR. Based on an extensive literature review, a concept matrix is conducted in phase 2, in which 136 competencies are listed. After phase 2 has been conducted, 87 ECs are identified, of which 33 have resulted as the most cited in the literature. By utilizing this multi-dimensional holistic approach, we can distinguish the ECs necessary to increase entrepreneurs’ capacity to innovate. The final analyses indicate 12 ECs, presented in a conceptual framework and categorized into four domains: cognitive (knowledge), functional (skills), social (attitudes and behaviours) and meta (facilitating learning). The findings illustrate the demand for specific ECs, although no additional ECs such as technology skills are identified for the 4IR within a developing country context.
