Towards new educational paradigms
Journal Title: Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia ad Didacticam Biologiae Pertinentia. - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
All revolutions, be they scientific or social ones, are the results of changes of paradigms. And the advent of the concept of «sustainable development» in our societies is no different. The radical adjustments that must be made regarding our ways of thinking and our «personal reasoning» are undeniable and they happen to have a direct influence on the educational curriculum. And it is all the more true when an education y related to it is institutionalized, as is the case in many countries. Highlighting these changes, understanding what it implies for the thought, as well as in terms of learning, opening new leads to deal with the complexity that such an education must tackle – these are the goals of this article. Inspired mainly by the results of several groundbreaking works lead by the Laboratory for Science Didactics and Epistemology of the University of Geneva, these reflections take stock of our current knowledge on the subject.
