This open access book reviews the effects of the twenty-first
century scientific-technological and social developments on the educational
theory. The first part handles the subject, focusing on technology and
educational philosophy. In the second part, the implications of new human and
social conceptions towards the education paradigms are examined. In the
chapters of the last part of the book, more practical dimensions of education
are discussed. Transforming school designs, school management, learning-teaching
approaches and teacher competencies are discussed in the context of broader
social, cultural and technological changes.
