Through innovations and technologies, industrial revolutions have brought great developments and, mutually, challenges. We are currently experiencing the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0. In this context, humanity experiences new possibilities of thinking and acting through the combined advancement of technology and the internet. This article aimed to verify if there is a relationship between learning industry 4.0 practices and the level of education in a higher education institution, based on the perception of students, professors and employees. Through a case study with a quantitative approach, a questionnaire adapted from the study by Mian et al. (2020), with a sample of 143 respondents. To assess the relationship between qualitative variables, the Chi-Square independence test was applied. The results infer that in the sense of knowledge of industry 4.0, the term and its technologies, there is a lack of greater knowledge of the researched public at the University. Regarding practices, there is neutrality for collaborative projects and implementation of tools. It is concluded that the link with the institution is a significant factor to justify knowledge of industry 4.0 technologies. Thus, students and professors, from different areas, are more up-to-date on the subject when compared to the category of employees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
