About the Book

This open-access book explores the profound effects of twenty-first-century scientific, technological, and social developments on educational theory. The book is divided into three parts: the first focuses on technology and educational philosophy, examining how these developments have reshaped the educational landscape. The second part addresses how new human and social conceptions are influencing education paradigms. Finally, the book explores more practical aspects of education, including transforming school designs, school management, learning-teaching approaches, and teacher competencies, all in the context of broader societal, cultural, and technological changes.

By offering insights into the evolving educational paradigms, this book presents a critical analysis of the implications of modern advancements and how they can help shape the future of education.
