21ST-CENTURY LEARNERS DEMAND POST-INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION SYSTEMS

SOME REFLECTIONS ON TIME AND CHANGE IN
EDUCATION

“Education is only the image and reflection of society. It imitates and reproduces the latter…it does not create it”Emile Durkheim
“Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life
itself”John Dewey
4
Time, continuity, change
• Durkheim – and ‘reproduction theories’ after him – sees education as a kind of ‘condensation’ of a society’s history, social structure etc., thus following social change
• John Dewey – and progressive educators in his footsteps – see education as driving social change by stressing the transformative capacities of education
5
• Designing 21st Century education systems:– Expansion: “more of the same”?– Regression: ‘taylorism’, tightening control,
raising productivity and efficiency by standardisation
– Transformation: innovative learning systems approach to education
• How can best performing systems help us to identify challenges and solutions?

• Technology?– Innovative pedagogies will be technology-rich, but
technology is a tool, not a goal in itself– Technology can also lead to regressive pedagogy
• From teaching to learning?– Also post-industrial education will need strong
professionalised support– Autonomous learning can be very ineffective
• From schooling to learning?– De-institutionalisation of learning is not an option– 21st century learning needs strong institutional
frameworks
