Editorial

Abstract

This edition of Paideia emphasizes the crucial role of collaboration and innovation in addressing the complex challenges facing education today. The editorial highlights the need for a paradigm shift, moving away from traditional, isolated approaches towards more interconnected and collaborative models of learning and knowledge creation.
Several key themes emerge. Firstly, the importance of fostering "organizations that learn", where knowledge is actively generated, shared, and applied to improve educational practices. Secondly, the need to embrace new pedagogies, such as deep learning and socio-emotional learning, that promote holistic student development and equip them with essential 21st-century skills. Thirdly, the editorial underscores the transformative potential of educational evaluation when it moves beyond mere measurement towards a formative approach that supports continuous improvement and student learning.
Finally, the editorial calls for a collective effort from all educational stakeholders - teachers, researchers, policymakers, and communities - to work together in building a more equitable, inclusive, and effective education system. This collaborative endeavor is essential to ensure that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
