Contemporaneity, education and technology

Abstract

This paper focuses on the role of technologies in education today. It questions this role, discusses what has to be understood as quality in education and examines the conception of a teachers and administrators training course capable of offering (another) quality to education and of contributing to a use of technological resources that promotes the discussion of culture and favors an emancipation project. It argues that quality in education requires, among other elements, both a critical view of school processes and appropriate and criterious uses of the new technologies.
