The authors suggest instead that social-transformative education and its critical social ontology serve the emancipatory promise of education better…

Higuera-Martínez, Oscar Iván; Corazza, Giovanni Emanuele; Fernández-Samacá, Liliana – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This article presents how Problem- and Project-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering education can exploit the theoretical framework of the Space-Time (ST)-Continuum, according to which educational contexts can be classified in terms of the tightness vs. looseness of the relevant conceptual space S and available time T. By crossing these two…

One of the basic features of the modern educational system is manifested in the reversal of the transmissive (traditional) approach to learning and teaching to the transformational (modern) approach. The transmissive approach to learning and teaching is that one in which students adopt readymade constructs of organised knowledge through passive…
