Abstract

The study aims to reveal the opinions of psychological counseling and guidance students on the importance of an industry 4.0 revolution in education. For this purpose, this study was designed according to the descriptive pattern. The research group formed two hundred and fifty-seven (257) volunteer psychological counseling and guidance students studying at a state university in the Republic of Turkey. The data of the study were obtained by taking into consideration the relevant literature and using three expert opinions. Most of the students assume the use of technology is beneficial in the educational field. However, it was observed that they have insufficient knowledge about the technology applications used in the educational field, and most of the participants assert that they do not know the meaning of Industry 4.0. Besides, 76.7% of the research sample is devoid of technology use in guidance services in schools. In summary, psychological counseling and guidance students associate technology in education with equipment rather than software.

Keywords: Industry 4.0, educational technologies, education 4.0.
