Introduction The current geopolitical, economic, social and educational environments are in this 21st century (dis)associated with (neo)technologies, which evolve to the extent that the learning of one of them is completed or moderately concluded, permanent updating schemes appear, always moving in a short term, which fuels the constant nomenclatures...Read More
In memory of Ezra Heymann and Yolanda Steffens, who taught me to walk through the spires of the labyrinth, from Kant to Hegel. “The beautiful is the symbol of morality”- I. Kant “For it is through beauty that one arrives at freedom”- F. Schiller. Schiller says, in his Letters on Education....Read More
I recently had the pleasure of reading in this blog the article published by Dr. Eduardo Molina Morán entitled “Reading: For an education immune to another pandemic. In this proposal, the author warns us that, with the return to face-to-face teaching in educational institutions, “we are at a key moment for...Read More
The pandemic demonstrated that the educational system is not fully prepared for online education, and I am not referring to technology or internet access. Many virtual classrooms maintained a conventional format where teachers lectured on a screen-whiteboard while students listened and/or watched. This practice usually prioritizes...Read More
The online classes resulting from the pandemic made me reflect on my role as a teacher; I thought that if students were already spending all day online, what could I offer them that they wouldn't find on Wikipedia? Conventional wisdom says: “if you can't fight the enemy, join him”. Well, I have dedicated...Read More
As teachers, we must connect the science of learning - how the brain learns - with classroom practices for all students. Much of what experts have shared about neuroscience has been done in the last 5 to 10 years. Therefore, anyone who has not been trained in the last few years will not...Read More
I may not speak for all teachers, but the thought of returning to in-person teaching in the very near future fills me with a new sense of hope. Don't get me wrong. The last two years of teaching online have been a unique opportunity not just to discover and embrace technological tools, but also to...Read More
“Education systems around the world will undergo major changes between now and 2030, driven by the technological revolution. In the next fifteen years, the Internet will turn schools into ‘interactive environments’ that will turn traditional ways of learning upside down and change the way teachers, parents and students behave.” This is...Read More
Education as a political phenomenon develops in a historical context, which assumes a long-term project, as a philosophical stance defined by a consensus among its different social actors. The lack of this consensus, replaced by authoritarian expressions, out of touch with reality, improvised and dogmatic, has prevented the construction of a pertinent management model,...Read More
The professor Daniel Pennac already indicated it in his book Como una novela: “The verb to read does not support the imperative. This aversion is shared with other verbs: the verb ‘to love’..., the verb ‘to dream’...”. And this is true, that is why the reading-writing processes must be developed, more than in democratic environments, in true spaces where the sense of...Read More
The present research is the result of the researcher's experience during three consecutive years teaching the subjects of Research Methodology and Titling in the Master's Degree in Educational Management (MGE) at UEES, detecting insufficient reading habits as one of the main limitations of the students. The promotion of reading in the...Read More
Today, we cannot discuss intelligence as a unique, singular and determining factor of a subject. Science itself has shown us that there is a variety of types of intelligence. According to Dr. Howard Gardner's research, these differ from person to person; to such an extent that they can be diversified into typologies...Read More
Before defining what educational innovation is and discussing conceptualizations about it and good educational practices, it is necessary to address the following question: Is it really possible to make significant changes in the educational field? A pertinent question in the face of what is seen as a determining element in an era that is so transcendental for humanity...Read More
