Education 4.0 Maturity Models for Society 5.0: Systematic literature review

Abstract Society 5.0 is a transformative vision for the future driven by integrating digital technologies and human-centered approaches, fusing with cyber-physical spaces to create a smart society that addresses megatrends through innovative and collaborative solutions by stakeholders. This article analyzes Maturity Models (MMs) in Higher Education to identify the components of Education 4.0 that aim to achieve Society 5.0, seeking the dimensions and levels associated with the quintuple helix and the mission of the HEIs. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) guided by research questions to highlight studies that address Maturity Models worldwide, identify components of Education 4.0 in the MM, research methods and instruments used, internal and external stakeholders, and some characteristics of the university missions. The study method employed was a Systematic Review analyzing 26 articles from 2018 to 2023 found in WoS and Scopus databases using inclusion and exclusion criteria under a Prisma workflow. The findings were that the HEIs must: a) analyze dimensions of various Education 4.0 components in a balanced way, b) incorporate comparative designs and mixed methods of the MM models, c) provide technology transfer services, training, and data centers, d) provide fully open environments to educate all citizens inclusively, and e) use sustainable MMs for a significant difference in impact. This review offers educational leaders and policymakers the methodologies for measuring the Education 4.0 path to Society 5.0.


Introduction
Undoubtedly, innovative educational ecosystems are adopting Education 4.0's ethical, moral, resilient, sustainable, and wellness components in new operational modes of digital transformation (DT).Society 5.0 is a super-intelligent society that promotes the convergence of cyberspace and physical space (Fukuyama, 2018) and focuses on human-oriented solutions and social innovation (Morawska-Jancelewicz, 2021), where the expectations are to develop an environment where humans and robots with artificial intelligence (AI) coexist and work to improve the quality of human life (Cabinet Office, Japan, 2022).In this sense, Shahidan et al. (2021) revealed in a study of art that engineering-related fields like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) dominate the intellectual structure of Society 5.0, which has a robust connection in the temporal co-map to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where Industry 4.0 technologies aim to improve human well-being (Martínez-Pérez & Rodríguez-Abitia, 2021).Morawska-Jancelewicz (2022) pointed out that global challenges and rapid technological progress are increasingly complex, leading to higher expectations of universities roles in modern ecosystems.Therefore, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) must converge physical and digital learning spaces, design pedagogical strategies that prepare students to participate in this era of digital transformation and sustainable development, and link it with industry, government, and civil society sectors.
HEIs are assuming new roles in modern ecosystems, adapting educational systems and integrating Education 4.0 advanced technologies with the principles and values of Society 5.0, opening to the knowledge generated by research and innovation, and preparing students to participate in this digital transformation and sustainable development era.Incorporating changes to organizational structures with technologies involves responsible innovation and transformative research to implement and modularize regulatory and organizational frameworks (Nagy et al., 2020).From the perspective of the universities' missions, authors such as Carayannis et al. (2023) have integrated the Triple Helix Model (Etzkovitz & Leydesdorff, 1997) and the Quadruple Helix (Carayannis et al., 2019) within the framework of the Quintuple Helix: academia, industry, government, civil society, and the environment to achieve a model of collaboration and synergy.Carayannis and Campbell (2022) introduced the "Emerging Unified Theory of Helical Architectures (EUTOHA)" as a means to provide clarity, coherence, and consistency in leveraging helical architectures; the objective of their framework was to facilitate solution designs that contribute to the digital transformation of modern knowledge economies and societies.HEIs must establish conditions to implement new social innovation, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning paradigms to achieve a genuine digital transformation.
Maturity Models (MMs) are a valuable tool for HEIs to facilitate digital transformation and measurement strategies in Education 4.0 to align with the values of Society 5.0.MMs systematically evaluate organizational processes (Proença, 2016).There are several MMs mechanisms, for example, descriptive, prescriptive, or comparative (De Bruin et al., 2005); each has its purpose, components, indicators, levels, and dimensions Carvalho et al. (2019) and, in the case of HEIs, aim at ensuring the quality of pedagogical and technological components and guaranteeing business continuity and facilitate knowledge management (Tocto-Cano et al., 2020).Additionally, a holistic vision of the organization's digital transformation and sustainability models will comprehensively address critical aspects of teaching activities, cyber-physical infrastructure, digital governance, and other educational processes.
Understanding the evolutionary Education 4.0 process to prepare individuals to participate in the future educational models of Society 5.0 highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and spaces for innovation and ethical responsibility.Education 4.0 responds to Industry 4.0, where humans and technology join for new possibilities (Hussin, 2018).Asad and Malik (2023) emphasize the significance of collaborative learning practices in Higher Education 4.0 and underscore the potential for its improvement through physical instructions integrated with cyber-based learning; this approach coincides with the Society 5.0 paradigm.HEIs face challenges when using cloud technologies due to security threats, access to control, and data security.A survey conducted by Jenay (2022) discovered that a significant portion of students visit campuses for hardware access (21%) and free Wi-Fi (14%).
Additionally, the survey revealed that students strongly prefer hybrid or entirely online teaching modalities.These findings hold value as educational institutions rethink the purposes of their physical spaces and pedagogical methods.In a separate study, Zhanna and Nataliia (2020) employed the modeling method to create a cognitive and metacognitive model of the educational process.Their research specifically concentrated on pedagogical approaches that develop competencies necessary for Industry 4.0, focusing on enhancing interpersonal skills.Additionally, other studies, such as the one conducted by Law et al. (2018), examined the cultivation of digital skills, while Ramírez-Montoya et al. (2022) explored the development of complex thinking skills.These studies collectively address the demands and challenges presented by HEIs and provide valuable insights into the necessary skills for success in Education 4.0 and Society 5.0.

Related work on maturity models in HEIs in education 4.0
UNESCO promotes access to good quality education as a human right, and within this approach, learning is at two levels: (a) the learner and (b) the learning system (Colclough et al., 2005).Therefore, a supportive structure is needed to implement policies, set standards, allocate resources, and measure learning outcomes to achieve the best possible impact on learning for all.Alenezi (2021) discusses technological corporations' digital maturity models led by digital transformation in HEIs; he presents education-specific transformation frameworks.Tocto-Cano et al. (2020) present a novel approach that detects gaps in the existing HEI maturity models, as they do not entirely address the dimensions.Studies related to MMs for Education 4.0 performed by Rodríguez-Abitia and Bribiesca-Correa (2021) argued that the digital maturity of HEIs can be assessed by observing its information technology infrastructure and digital tools used in classrooms, labs, and administration; they assessed how the institutes have applied digital tools in teaching and learning.Fatimah et al. (2020) contributed to the evolution of organizations using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to explain the concepts, approaches, and elements of maturity models.This article analyzes which components of Education 4.0 have been considered in HEI Maturity Models for Society 5.0.The maturity models for education must include dimensions and levels measuring not only teaching and learning practices or organizational processes but also citizen participation, social innovation, sustainability, knowledge openness, and other wellness scenarios already identified as targets in Society 5.0.The essential objective of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review on the dimensions of Maturity Models (MMs) to identify the components of Education 4.0 that aim to achieve Society 5.0's goals.The specific objectives of the study were: (a) Identify the components of Education 4.0 in MMs and the research methods, instruments, and key stakeholders and determine whether there are schemes to assess sustainability, (b) analyze the dimensions, stages, and levels of measurement utilized in MMs for HEIs, and (c) identify MMs related to the framework of the Quintuple Helix and the connections with the mission of the HEIs.
Based on the research objectives, the research questions were: (1) RQ1: How many studies over time regard Maturity Models (MMs), and which components of Education 4.0 are the focus?(2) RQ2: What research methods, instruments, and mechanisms have been used in Maturity Models (MMs)?
(3) RQ3: What dimensions and levels of measurement are utilized in Maturity Models (MMs)?( 4) RQ4: According to the studies, which stakeholders of Education 4.0 have Maturity Models (MMs) that include the quintuple helix sectors?(5) RQ5: Which studies are related to the HEIs' mission and their impact on quintuple helix sectors?
The sections of this paper are as follows: The immediate section presents the materials and methods relating to MMs and Society 5.0 literature, the missions of the HEIs, the framework of the quintuple helix, and the components of Education 4.0.The Methodology section explains the review process and the research questions.The subsequent section covers the literature review findings, and the final section discusses the conclusion.

Education 4.0 Maturity Models for Society 5.0
To foster collaboration and knowledge sharing, one must develop comprehensive capability models and disciplinary applications that promote the integration of physical and cyber spaces in an intelligent society.Society 5.0 aims to prioritize innovation for humans by leveraging the potential of technology and Industry 4.0 to enhance the quality of life, social responsibility, and sustainability (Martínez-Pérez & Rodríguez-Abitia, 2021).These aspects address emerging challenges effectively.Maturity Models (MMs) have gained wide acceptance in management science as they provide a systematic approach to gathering information and enabling continuous improvement (Lahrmann et al., 2011).To meet the demands of Society 5.0 and Education 4.0, HEIs require indicators for informed decisions and periodically review and update their educational programs, operational processes, frameworks for cyber and physical infrastructure, and the impacts on the social environments.

Research methods and mechanisms to conduct maturity models
The need for such models led to the development of MMs, which can be classified based on typologies established by De Bruin and colleagues (De Bruin et al., 2005) (Table 1).
The validity of digital maturity models lies in their scientific nature, which requires demonstrating their accuracy and reliability through methods and techniques of the scientific method.Furthermore, the research and evaluation process employ methods to establish relationships, strategies, and techniques that seek to approach "reality" within the study design (Ramírez-Montoya & Lugo-Ocando, 2020).These research methods fall into empirical, conceptual, or mixed categories.Neuman (2014) defines empirical research as collecting objective and verifiable data through observation or experimentation.As Creswell and Creswell (2017)

Dimensions and levels of measurement utilized in maturity models
The maturity level has fundamental components of dimensions and stages, according to Paulk et al. (1993), who developed a maturity model called the Capability Maturity Model (CMM).The CMM consists of five levels for increasing levels of process maturity.The dimensions represent an organization's key functional areas or critical aspects that are assessed and improved as it progresses through the model.For example, in a business context, Fraser et al. (2002, pp. 244-245)

Missions of higher education and the quintuple helix
One way HEIs can increase their positive impact on society is to foster initiatives supported by technologies that bring more significant benefits to citizens in their environments and their four main missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer (third mission), and community engagement (fourth mission).Cavallini et al. (2016) defines these missions as relations with non-academic decision-makers and business and society policymakers.Riviezzo et al. (2020) defined the fourth mission.For example, the Quadruple/Quintuple Helix Innovation Model (Q2HM) by Goddard et al. (2016) ensures that the HEIs are drivers of knowledge that play a crucial role in orchestrating innovation and pursuing change.Authors Carayannis and Morawska-Jancelewicz (2022) looked for highlights that address the gap of relatively few studies on institutional changes and incentive structures influencing the ability of universities to engage in (digital) social innovation within digital and green transitions.They proposed the elements for universities' digital transformation and mission levels (Table 2).

Stakeholders in education 4.0
On the other hand, to classify the main stakeholders and HEIs in Education 4.0, we used the classification proposed by González-Pérez and Ramírez-Montoya (2022), which were a) students, b) teachers, and c) managers.Similarly, external stakeholders from the perspective of the Quintuple Helix are Government, Industry, Civil Society, and Environment (Carayannis et al., 2019(Carayannis et al., , 2023)).This approach allows for adding new stakeholders.

Core components of Education 4.0 and stakeholders in a MM in HEIs
To identify core components of Education 4.0 and digital aspects of HEI MMs for Society 5.0, we identified some authors who addressed the components of Education 4.0 or approached assessing areas of HEIs.In addition, we propose other categories that may be useful for reviewing MMs in the context of the 5.0 society.Rodríguez-Abitia and Bribiesca-Correa (2021) proposed the following dimensions of the digital maturity model: a) the ability to provide appropriate IT infrastructure, b) the ability to apply technology to the teaching and learning process, and c) the ability to provide collaboration and organizational platforms to integrate processes and people.Table 3 presents the categorization for this study.

Systematic literature review
To carry out the study, we used a systematic literature review (SLR) as a strategy to identify studies about MMs in HEIs with the following objectives: a) analyze the dimensions, stages, and levels of measurement of MM used in HEIs, b) identify the Education 4.0 components, research methods, instruments, and key stakeholders, and c) identify the Quintuple Helix sectors involved in the objectives of creating MMs in HEIs.SLRs identify, evaluate, and interpret the data available within a period in each field of research.This review process followed, in general terms, the guidelines established by Brereton et al. (2007), which focused on conducting SLRs in software engineering (Kitchenham, 2004) and based in other contributions (Chambers et al., 2009;Higgins & Green, 2006).To address the research questions, we employed the systematic literature review method based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines by Page et al. (2021).The five phases were: 1) identifying the research questions; 2) the search process; 3) inclusion and exclusion criteria; 4) the data selection and extraction process; and 5) data synthesis.The five phases of the review are shown in Figure 1.

Phase 1. Identifying the research questions
During phase 1, five questions defined the dimensions related to the research and the possible review answers.The questions aimed to cover the research's objective and identify relevant dimensions based on authors that could answer the questions (Table 4).

Phase 2. Search process
The search process in the SCOPUS and WoS databases began with defining the keywords to use in their search engines with the "AND" operator and the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The search was performed on 1 March 2023.Table 5 shows the search strings for both databases.

Phase 3. Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Table 6 shows the search protocol with the inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting and evaluating relevant studies:

Phase 4. Data selection and extraction process
In phase 4, the articles were searched, then data extraction was performed.Subsequently, the information was entered into an Excel database.The search yielded 69 studies: 24 in Scopus and 45 in WoS.The information extracted from each article included the author(s), keywords, title, type of access, year of publication, publication name, number of citations, DOI number, affiliations, language, country, and abstract.Based on this data, 14 duplicate articles were identified and moved to another database sheet.Next, 3 studies without access to the document were excluded; 9 studies referred to as Review Systematic Literature, 7 studies did not present a Maturity Model, and nine presented a maturity model but in different sectors than education.After applying the exclusion criteria, only 26 studies remained as review candidates.Figure 2 shows the delimitation based on the PRISMA method.

Phase 5. Data synthesis
In phase 5, we synthesized the data of the 26 studies included in this review to respond to the research questions RQ1, RQ2, RQ3, RQ4, and RQ5 described in Table 4.To achieve this, we sought to identify the HEI MMs through the abstract information, keywords, and titles and categorize each article properly, which allowed us to link the dimensions and the possible answers according to the criteria of each.

Results
The SLR database is available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8026284.This section presents the results related to the research questions.The tools used for the graphs were Excel and Tableau.Table 7 shows the selected studies, with Id Study for identification purposes in the sections responding to each research question and the discussion section.
The results for each of the research questions follow.

RQ1. How many studies through time regard maturity models (MMs), and which components of education 4.0 are the focus?
Figure 3 shows HEI MM studies between 2018 and 2023.Note that before 2021, these models primarily measured competency levels.
From 2021, the HEI MMs primarily measured infrastructure levels, and organizational dimensions, and less the learning processes and competencies.The Figure 3 shows 5 studies related to competencies, 5 related to infrastructure levels, 3 on learning methods, and 11 on organizational dimensions.

RQ2: what research methods, instruments, and mechanisms have been used in maturity models (MMs)?
Table 8 presents studies using conceptual, empirical, or mixed methods and the mechanisms.Among the most prominent instruments for validating MMs in HEIs.A few instruments are case studies, Delphi approaches, benchmarking, interviews, surveys, and others, some accompanied by literature reviews.

RQ3: What dimensions, stages, and levels of measurement are in maturity models, and what is their connection with HEI missions and components of education 4.0?
Table 9 presents the list for each study with their id, model name, dimensions, and level used in HEI MMs.The table also shows how many studies correspond to the component's Education 4.0 and how many are related to the HEI missions.
The studies were grouped according to the components of Education 4.0 and the HEIs missions.The categorizations of the components of Education 4.0 in the first group were the studies related to Competencies S26, S20, S14, S19, and S23.Within the missions of the HEIs, studies S26 and S20 were classified as Community Engagement Mission, study S14 as Knowledge Transfer Mission, and studies S19 and S23 as Teaching Mission.In this group were no studies related to the mission of the research university.In the second group were the studies related to Infrastructure Levels (S7, S12, S17, S18, and S15) related to Knowledge

RQ5: which studies are related to the HEIs' mission, and what is their impact on quintuple helix sectors?
Figure 5 presents studies grouped according to the categories of the quintuple helix: academia, industry, government, civil society, and environment, and their intersections with the HEI missions.
Figure 5 shows that 18 studies related to the Academia Helix represent more than 65% of the studies.In comparison, four studies related to the Industry Helix (19%), three studies to the Environment Helix (11%), and only one study for the Civil Society Helix (3%).Notably, no models connected with the Government's Helix.

Discussion of findings
With the incursion of Technologies 4.0 in everyday life, HEIs actors must be constantly updated and evaluated as gaps and inequalities in industry, education, government, and society become evident.Figure 3 shows that since 2021, the HEI MMs began to focus mainly on measuring infrastructure levels and organizational dimensions and less on measuring learning processes and competencies.Two studies were found so far in 2023 related to infrastructure, such as Study S18 by Merchan-Rodríguez and Zambrano-Vera (2023), presenting an IT Governance Capabilities model, and Study S12 by Harin et al. (2023) refers to the management of Knowledge Exchange Dynamics (KED), as they try to position the information systems aspects globally.Morawska-Jancelewicz (2022) pointed out that global challenges and rapid technological progress are increasingly complex, leading to growing expectations of universities and their roles in modern ecosystems and incorporating changes to organizational structures, with technologies supporting responsible innovation based on transformative research (Nagy et al., 2020).HEIs must rush to construct a model of Society 5.0, analyzing dimensions that relate to the different components of Education 4.0 in a balanced way, driving change management, and fostering deep responses to society, industry, government, and the environment using systems or technological platforms comprising the core of HEIs business.
The strength of a MM depends on a strategically sound scientific methodology with knowledge and understanding of the elements of the HEI missions.Table 8 presents studies using conceptual, empirical, or mixed methods and the mechanisms utilized.Only two studies (S7 and S2) were found with a comparative mechanism; De Bruin et al. ( 2005) defined a comparative mechanism as one that compares industries or regions and facilitates benchmarking; the same authors defined a descriptive mechanism as those assisting in the assessment of the given situation, of which 15 studies were found (S4, S22, S19, S3, S14, S10, S16, S25, S17, S23, S20, S18, S1, S21 and S12).Lastly, the studies carried out under the prescriptive mechanism defined the models that support the definition and implementation of a development plan: the nine studies were S13, S9, S26, S6, S24, S8, S5, and S11).From a scientific perspective, only 23 % of the studies used conceptual methods, 38.5 % empirical methods, and 38.5 % mixed methods, which were employed to establish relationships, strategies, and techniques that approach "reality" within the study design (Ramírez-Montoya & Lugo-Ocando, 2020).Therefore, MM models incorporating comparative designs, especially mixed methods, could impact and engage the external stakeholders.
It is essential that the effort to lead those changes must be part of the organizational culture and that new dimensions be developed to measure the level of maturity of the core activities of higher education institutions that involve and integrate support and technology areas.Table 9 presents the list for each study with their id, model name, dimensions, and level used in HEI MMs; a relevant example related to competencies is study S26, which used the dimension of employability services related to industry.Another study of infrastructure levels is S15, highlighting measuring the virtual spaces with the Virtual Index: Didactic, Research, and Administration.Regarding learning methods, study S9 highlighted the importance of measuring openness and sharing.In the context of organizational dimensions, study S10, named "Wendler's model," measured aspects that promote a culture of learning and change in organizations.The studies S7 and S25 presented the HEI-BIMM MM, which has 23 dimensions, including business strategy and technical integration with IT infrastructure, looking to create a holistic assessment to resolve technological and organizational needs.Rodríguez-Abitia and Bribiesca-Correa (2021) proposed dimensions of the digital maturity model: a) the ability to provide appropriate IT infrastructure, b) the ability to apply technology to the teaching and learning process, and c) the ability to provide collaboration and organizational platforms to integrate processes and people.For HEIs to have competitive advantages with other sectors, such as industry and government, they must have technology transfer services, training, and data centers, with the infrastructure and technology to provide quality research-based services.
Detecting the people involved in the MM evaluations provides us with relevant information when assessing the progress of the scope and objective for which the indicators were incorporated.Figure 4 presents the main stakeholders of the MMs, i.e., managers, teachers, and students, finding that the stakeholders for whom the most HEI MMs have been constructed are the Research and Knowledge Transfer managers.Notably, the S1 study measured aspects related to teachers and students and S9 towards managers and teachers, so one can observe how two or more stakeholders can participate in MMs.Among the findings on HEI missions, 23% focused on research, 23% on teaching, 42% on knowledge transfer, and 11% on community engagement.Carayannis and Morawska-Jancelewicz (2022) looked for highlights that address the gap of relatively few studies on institutional change and incentive structures that influence the ability of universities to engage in (digital) social innovation within digital and green transitions.These findings reflect the need for HEIs to provide open environments to educate all citizens inclusively and conduct research focusing on social innovation and sustainability using digital tools.
The maturity models for Society 5.0 require a holistic vision with dimensions that focus on the internal issues of the HEI and look at connecting with external dimensions comprising the other helixes of the context, considering indicators such as data management, security and privacy, and ethical processes in the integration of Technology 4.0.Figure 5 reflects 18 studies related to the Academia Helix (65% of the studies).In comparison, four studies related to the Industry Helix (19%), three studies to the Environment Helix (11%), and only one study for Civil Society (2.6%).Notably, no models were found linked to the Government Helix.Study S16 was the "Financial Management Maturity Model" related to Civil Society, reflecting citizenship activities.Also, only three studies (S6, S13, and S19) addressed the environment or sustainability.University MMs must consider the Quintuple/Quadruple Helix (Carayannis et al., 2019(Carayannis et al., , 2023) ) and have the methodologies and tools to fulfill their missions toward Society 5.0.Sustainable maturity models that integrate the care and well-being of society and the environment create a significant difference in HEI's impact on the helix.

Implication of the research findings for theory and practice
Successful implementation of Maturity Models through technological platforms for integration and information architectures requires multidisciplinary teams (researchers, educators, engineers, and designers).This highlights the main technological or technical orientation of the analyses, management models, and research methods that can expand and compare studies better to understand HEIs and their integration in Society 5.0 and achieve a significant impact with external actors within the community engagement mission.
There are areas of opportunity to build the core components of Education 5.0 within the conceptualization of the 5.0 Society.Therefore, further research should aim to measure the effectiveness of different maturity models to promote the integration of Education 4.0 components in HEIs for Society 5.0, comparing the different dimensions, stages, and levels of MMs, evaluating their impact on teaching, and learning outcomes, competencies, and other relevant dimensions, and proposing different research methods and instruments for their development and evaluation.Future research could explore MMs that measure dimensions of innovation and sustainability in HEIs in the quintuple helix, involving the perspectives and priorities of stakeholders from different sectors.For these reasons, we propose challenging research for an integrative maturity model that incorporates the common elements of Education 4.0 and Society 5.0 with a more holistic approach using standard measures that support the design of an integrated route.

Limitations and future research
This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) used inclusion and exclusion criteria, with articles in English published in the last five years in Scopus and WoS databases, with keywords related to Maturity Models in Higher Education.This SLR excluded books, book chapters, conference proceedings, notes, reviews, and non-English language publications; thus, the current study is not biasfree.The discussion presents findings from the most representative studies that can help to identify definitions, dimensions, and levels, among others, that can help mold Society 5.0; however, we recommend reading each of the articles presented according to the readers' interest in this research.Future research in Maturity Models could address systematic reviews incorporating keywords such as Education 4.0 and Society 5.0 in Higher Education and additionally delve into the formulation of instruments and empirical models to support the dimensions of a digital maturity model for Society 5.0 and Education 4.0.

Conclusions
The pace and velocity of technological innovations and disruptions have created an ever-changing, permanently increasing complexity for society.In this context, HEIs are under tremendous pressure not only to understand the changing context but to adapt and incorporate those forces strategically.
In this context, to accomplish their missions, HEIs must have well-structured and scientifically based MMs that are critical to evaluate the status of HEI and support their organizational and cultural changes.This Systematic Review presents significant contributions to understanding the status of the HEI MMs dimensions, levels, stages, and measurements and their actualization of the components of Education 4.0 (competencies, infrastructure, learning methods, and organizational dimensions) for Society 5.0 (human-centered).This review also identified the key stakeholders of the quintuple helix (academia, civil society, environment, and industry).andthe mission of the HEIs (teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and community engagement).
A relevant finding was that most of the models are descriptive, i.e., they only looked for a problem but produced no plan to solve it, while the MMs that use prescriptive mechanisms seek to create a development plan in the face of data or information that may present risks to HEIs.Comparative mechanisms measure the impact of other external organizations, which is conducive to innovation and knowledge linkage.Therefore, as mentioned above, MMS must incorporate comparative designs, especially mixed ones, and analyze them more precisely to impact the external stakeholders more significantly.Furthermore, most of the studies focused on the internal processes aimed at the organizational dimensions, like marketing, library, information technology services, and human resources.For a maturity model to achieve the fourth HEI mission, community engagement, it is necessary to connect with very different aspects than those measured so far to evolve towards the Society 5.0 culture and incorporate and measure the maturity levels of relevant stakeholders, such as civil society, environmental directors, and industry leaders, and identify relevant and standard dimensions and levels.Likewise, Education 4.0 and Society 5.0 emphasize strategically incorporating and combining technologies like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robots, and automation.Both emphasize personalized learning and individualized solutions, encourage stakeholder collaboration, and value creativity and innovation with a lifelong learning approach and a deep interest in sustainability and human-centered approaches.
