Educational Theory in the 21st Century: Science, Technology, Society and Education
Education as a main social institution has transformed alongside other
social systems throughout the history of the world. In particular, changes
in science, philosophy, culture, and economy have deeply affected the
purpose, content, and methods of education. Shaped in accordance with
the social and political systems that had been dominated by agriculture
and trade-centered production until the nineteenth century, education
seems to have since found a new way with the formation of industrialization and modern society from the nineteenth century to the last quarter of
the twentieth century. The pragmatic character of education has become
more prominent within industrial society, and education has become more
sensitive to the demands of industrial economy and nation-state politics. During this time, humanity faced the phenomenon of state-offered
mass education. Modern science, culture, and philosophy have also deeply
influenced education. Positivism and behaviorism first formed different
educational schools, after which existentialism and humanism did the
same.
