Need for a New Paradigm in Education: From the Newtonian Paradigm to the Quantum Paradigm

PUBLISHER Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W (02/17/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description
Amid climate change, digital transformation, global warming, economic recessions, and rising geopolitical tensions, K-12 and higher education are undergoing a profound transformation. All these remarkable and unsettling changes, along with groundbreaking advancements over the past decade, will undoubtedly impact students' learning trajectories and significantly reshape the conventional model of schooling. We must recognize that today's younger generation faces entirely new challenges, and the future of humanity remains uncertain for them. They do not learn, think, or behave in the same way as previous generations. The ways in which young people learn and communicate have evolved more in the past decade than in the entire previous century. Educational institutions are struggling to keep up with rapid changes in an increasingly competitive marketplace, while companies cannot train workers quickly or cost-effectively enough to remain competitive. Parents are increasingly seeking "better" education and schools for their children. Meanwhile, governments and politicians are implementing system-wide reforms, and employers are voicing concerns about the 'skills gap, ' often frantically and in vain, demanding an education system that meets both workforce and societal needs. Students, too, are acutely aware that the current education system does not adequately prepare them for the uncertainties ahead. Thus, this book's value lies in its exploration of the quantum paradigm and the new opportunities it offers the younger generation, focusing on innovative business models in schooling, new pedagogies, updated curricula, and modern assessment methods. It aims to reach a broad audience, including school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and policymakers.
