The Third Wave & Beyond
IDEC 2010 is focused on exploring the idea, art and practice of "Education of the Third Wave and beyond".
What are the differences between the "Second Wave" and the "Third Wave"? (hint: most of our children learn in "Second Wave" schools, which are based on the ideas of the...Industrial Revolution.) DAVID BOTSFORD wrote about the Third Wave Revolution: "The appearance of compulsory state schooling systems followed the economic, political and demographic changes which occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries throughout the Western world. The thesis advanced by the American “futurist” Alvin Toffler helps to explain the nature of today’s schools, the reason why they are collapsing, and the sort of education which will replace them in the future".
