Empowering Education: Research, Theory And Practice

This book addresses the problems of education systems in the 21 Century from an interdisciplanary perspective.

In the last 20 years, in order to improve the education system and increase the quality of education, many countries made many attempts including developing a studentcentered education program, competencies for teachers and principals, and hundreds of projects. The problem is; How can education systems, teachers, students and schools fail despite these changes and developments in science and technology in the 21st century? The answer is, many education systems have entered a kind of VICIOUS CIRCLE. The most effective solution to the problems of a system is NOT WITH AN EMOTIONAL APPROACH, but WITH THE SYSTEM ANALYSIS APPROACH. A SYSTEM CAN BE AS SMART AS ITS DESIGNERS AT MOST.
