Topic 1

Education in twenty first Century

In the title of the course there are three (3) key terms:

1. Contemporary
2. Trends
3. Issues

These three terms can be explained like as under.

1. Contemporary

Contemporary means related to the present time or starting as of today. What we experience in education today.

2. Trend

Are positive kinds of things that are happening in other words the patterns that we like to see and continue.

3. Issues

Issues deal with the negative. They deal with the not so good things that happen in education. In this course we will focus on trends and issues in education. If I ask you what one factor causes the change in the education, today? I hope most of you will come up with technology. In twenty first century even yet we are using yesterdays’ training with today’s students. To be compatible with twenty first century education we have to give technology due importance.

We have to see what trends we have to study in technology and what issues in technology we would talk about. In order to provide education to each and every child we have to uplift our resources. We, the teachers of today are basically the product of twentieth century; unlike the students are also twenty first century students. The teachers have to unlearn the concepts of last century and update ourselves with twenty first century.
