Nothing Is New, but Everything Has Changed: A Viewpoint on the Future School
Nóvoa, António; Alvim, Yara
Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, v49 n1-2 p35-41 Oct 2020
This Viewpoint argues that the debates about the future of education and the need to rethink the school model started long before the pandemic crisis. But the situation we are experiencing has accelerated this need and showed that changes are possible. Consumerist trends in education have been accentuated, now with the massive use of digital tools. These trends, which, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, have supported "personalization of learning", can lead to the disintegration of the school. But dynamics of transformation and metamorphosis of the school have also emerged, reinforcing education as a public and common good. The authors seek to enunciate these dynamics that redefine three bases of the school model: the social contract around education, the organizational structure of the school, and the pedagogy of the lesson.
