Hacia una nueva educación

We point out in this article centered on Education the main principles that shape the educational model of the industrial age. Those principles were explained by Alvin Toffler in his book The Third Wave. They are: standardization, specialization, synchronization, concentration, maximization and centralization. After emphasizing them and showing how each one of them leaves its mark in the formal education in the industrial age, we defend the thesis that the new education is originated and configures itself in a process of dismantling and replacement of the principles of the industrialism by the new principles of the raising post-industrial society, also called Society of the Knowledge.
