This thesis is born with the aim of describing smart classrooms by analyzing their differentiating elements, dimensions and interrelationships, to understand what are the trends that can provide improvements in the teaching-learning processes of students of the century. XXI. To do this, an explored research methodology is used to collect data and concatenate results to broaden the frame of reference. A total of twelve doctoral student publications were summarized, in which the techniques and research instruments used are diverse: systematic reviews of the literature and theoretical approaches with expert assessment, interviews, focus groups, documentary analysis and tests. targets. The rich foundation allows to contextualize the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its potential in education. As a result, a definition of smart schools is introduced, which must be equipped with comprehensive management systems and automated solutions, must be people-centered and inclusive, and must be sustainable, with the The aim is to welcome intelligent education by efficiently adopting new learning methodologies and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Smart classrooms are also conceptualized and defined through the dimensionalization of their characteristics, and the main characteristics they must have in terms of technology, environmental factors and pedagogical processes are described. Special emphasis is placed on environmental conditions, as they are found to be influential in teaching-learning processes and represent a relevant path for innovation in classrooms. The two most important topics are studied in depth: lighting and acoustics. The emerging results of data collection show various implications of smart classrooms and their level of maturity. It is worth noting, on the one hand, that schools in Catalonia are willing to respond to the pedagogical innovations brought about by the arrival of Industry 4.0, but are not yet ready to obtain efficient results. On the other hand, the effectiveness of dynamic systems for controlling lighting in the classroom is highlighted, as a first step in automating environmental conditions in a smart classroom.Downloads
