摘要

Technology is changing how we understand knowledge in all its tenets. A direct implication which is often overlooked is how knowledge creation, production, and storage are reshaping the landscape of education. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that human development has arrived at the historical junction where Technology, Education and Science function in an assembly. This transformation necessitates a re-evaluation of the operational framework of education in the digital age. The paper delves into the procedural aspects of knowledge production and explores the influence of technological advancements at each stage. The pervasive nature of technology has significantly shaped the evolution of society at large and education in tandem with its function and purpose. Drawing on applied educational principles, the paper underscores the need to reimagine the key mechanisms of education in a knowledge-saturated technological era. These implications call for a reassessment of the essential components of education and the pedagogical approaches necessary to uphold its role in advancing human development. The paper examines three educational approaches of Critical Pedagogy, Challenge-based Learning, and Work-based Learning which treat technology not as an obscure aspect hidden in the undercurrents but consciously acknowledged as a distinct element: advocating the mindfulness of technology and its implications.
