Abstract

ARAUJO, Ulisses F.. The fourth educational revolution: changes of time, space and relations in school based upon the use of technologies and social inclusion. ETD [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.03, pp.31-48. ISSN 1676-2592.

This article discusses the evolution of education in recent centuries, trying to demonstrate how movements of democratization and universal access to education promoted the inclusion of all people in the educational processes. The school, as we know, structured in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on principles of exclusion and homogenization, there seems not to be catching on the demands of an inclusive education, which has been impacting the quality goals of knowledge desired by contemporary societies. This impasse has been demanding a re-invention of education, which involves changes in the content, form and relationships between teachers and students within the educational spaces. As an example of paths to be followed to re-invent education, is presented the structure of a specialization course which combines active learning methodologies with new and diverse Information Technology and Communication tools, and the concern for personal and professional ethics.

Keywords : Social Inclusion; Educational Revolution; Problem-Based Learning; Information Technology and Communication.
