Technological transitions in the education sector of developing economies are faced with a range barriers, involving resource scarcity, socio-cultural concerns, and issues related to management policy. The popularity Industry 4.0 has prompted Education (EDUC4), an approach learning that involves transformation using advanced technologies. While recent work reported comprehensive list barriers EDUC4 implementation, particularly economies, further analysis identify those priority remains gap. Thus, this addresses gap by introducing novel methodological extension decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method following integration Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFS). FFS, compared other environments, could capture higher levels uncertainties associated when eliciting judgments necessary for DEMATEL. Such is aided maximum mean de-entropy (MMDE) algorithm, which analytically determines threshold value crucial constructing prominence-relation map Following its application evaluating implementation Philippine universities, critical lack training resources, costs, insufficiency available technologies, skills human knowledge gap, complexity platforms. Among set, cost resources deemed most prominent ones. statistical test on impact addressing two shows barrier costs yields statistically more favorable results regarding mitigation barriers.
