Abstract
Education is one of the most changing and sensitive landscapes of today’s society. Anything that has an impact on any part of society (the economy, work, technology or culture, etc.) has an influence on education in the short, medium or long term. This paper first deals with how processes of change and no change in society are having fundamental consequences for education. In acknowledgement of the importance of ICT in teaching and learning processes it then argues that the real challenge of education today lies in our understanding of the nature of knowledge and its modes or production, the need to evolve from a disciplinary to a cross-disciplinary approach to the curriculum and students’ experience, and the way we approach people’s learning processes, including both emotional and biographical issues.
