Priority Roles of Stakeholders for Overcoming the Barriers to Implementing Education 4.0: An Integrated Fermatean Fuzzy Entropy-Based CRITIC-CODAS-SORT Approach by Roselyn Gonzales, Rose Mary Almacen, Gamaliel Gonzales, Felix Costan, Decem Suladay, Lynne Enriquez, Emily Costan, Nadine May Atibing, Joerabell Lourdes Aro, Samantha Shane Evangelista, Fatima Maturan, Egberto Selerio, Lanndon Ocampo

“…Findings suggest the lack of collaboration, apprehensive stakeholders, cybersecurity threats, health issues, and cost as crucial barriers to the HEI. The sorting process yields 13 high-priority roles, encompassing those within the influence of the government (i.e., cybersecurity awareness, allocation of necessary funds, designing more aligned curricula, and streamlining the basic education agenda), university management (i.e., investing in efficient technologies and forging extensive stakeholder collaboration), human resource function (i.e., implementing periodic skills training for educators), and educators (i.e., engaging in continuous learning about cybersecurity threats, integrating awareness of applicable laws against cyberbullying, devising alternative cost-efficient teaching strategies, taking part in initiatives to improve curricula, efficient preparation of learning materials, and participating in skills development initiatives). …”
