Abstract

Schools must train students to be capable of dealing with professions and technologies that are yet to come. Education 4.0 is a paradigm that is leveraging the new educational environment through teaching and developing relevant skills and digital technologies. Therefore, teachers must be trained in the use of such digital technologies in teaching. In this scenario, a case study was carried out with teachers about a software tool to support Education 4.0, aiming to measure the innovation perception and tool acceptance. Teachers' innovation perception was positive, mainly as enabling software for creative problem solving and knowledge transformation. Teachers agreed with the indicators of ease of use and perceived usefulness of use.
