Knowledge ecology and sustainable development

Abstract

Knowledge ecology refer on the investigation and epistemological theorizing various ways of knowing and sustainable development. Although fourth industrial revolution is coming, the pedagogy is seeking to maintain old theoretical concepts and methods. This cause a dialectical contradiction between requirements of living in a real world for sustainability, philosophy of scientific transhumanism and current education. It is not so important for pedagogy to be the art of teaching. It is a stringent need for pedagogy to become the science that deals with identification and solving controversies, problems and issues, related on sustainable development. The goal of this chapter is to describe the user interface design principles of digital textbooks from the perspective of knowledge ecology and scientific transhumanism.
