The The teaching work of transmitting. The critical scenery of the first quarter of the 21st Century.

Abstract

The teaching work during the first quarter of the 21^st Century renews the crisis on the act of transmitting which seems to be inherent to the task. The present essay recapitulates the historic-cultural logic that has led to the aforementioned crisis after modernity to indicate that what this crisis demands is the redefinition of all the actors who are education related. It aims to demonstrate that what urges now is to surmount passive learners faced with educators who solely transmit information in order to focus on a new form of interacting: educators who allow learners to take on an inherited culture and to transform it by appropriating it whilst permitting to develop skills that not only allow to transcend the mere receiving of information, but also lead towards attitudes more socially engaged and more empathetic with humanity.
