Abstract
Designing new educational systems adapted to our emerging information and electronics societies needs to experiment with new ideas and perceptions sensitive to different cultural perspectives. General methodologies open to the unbiased use of induction, deduction, experimentation, analysis, synthesis and complementary static, dynamic and dialectic (or better “multilectic”) perspectives appear as promising instruments for designing educational systems and redesigning schools and school systems.
