Notes on education in contemporary times

This work was born out of researchers’ concerns about education and contemporaneity. It focussed on understanding education in current times, which is increasingly marked by the contemporary conditions in which we are all immersed. The evolution of societies in recent decades has demanded that the teacher training paradigm for this new millennium be underpinned by very complex and complete theoretical and practical assumptions, in order to provide a quality response to the multiple and growing demands for education arising from this whole context, in other words, the contemporary need for a reflective, critical, creative, intellectual, investigative and innovative teacher.
