CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH IN EDUCATION

4th Edition

Abstract

Contemporary education is experiencing a period of intense transformation. Social changes, technological advances, and new methodologies challenge teachers, students, and institutions to rethink their roles, practices, and perspectives. This collection fits into this context, bringing together articles that discuss, from different perspectives, how schools and teaching can respond to the demands of the 21st century.
The book presents reflections on the influence of today's society, marked by instability and liquid modernity, while also incorporating contributions from neuroscience and digital technologies for teaching and learning. Experiments with multimedia resources and innovative pedagogical practices, such as gamification, are also explored, expanding the possibilities for interaction and engagement in the educational process.
More than just collecting isolated studies, these studies invite reflection on the paths education can take to become more inclusive, dynamic, and meaningful. It is an invitation to develop new practices, open to dialogue between science, education, and technology, with the aim of preparing critical, creative individuals capable of acting in a constantly changing society. Ultimately, this collection aims to inspire and provoke. By bringing together diverse perspectives, it reaffirms the importance of research and innovation as essential forces for transforming education into a vibrant learning environment, capable of responding to the challenges of the present and anticipating the demands of the future.
