Evidence-based knowledge can bring some certainty to the uncertainty that educators, students and families currently face.
Students, teachers, and parents face several challenges, in coping with these changes and in adapting to these new societal, economic, and educational settings.Įducational researchers are challenged to decode the increased complexity of educational processes at times of global change and uncertainty and to introduce evidence-based practices and reforms to educational policy makers. In addition to all the above challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic that we currently experience has created unprecedented changes in human life and further increased uncertainty on a worldwide scale.Įducation was highly disrupted and the learning process massively changed from face-to-face to online. Education per se is constantly changing, modifying or redefining learning and teaching environments from very early age through the life span.
We are living in times when seemingly apparent certainties appear to be challenged by phenomena such as technological advancements, rapid transformations of the labor market, ‘redefinition’ of human communication, migration and population mobility, socioeconomic downturns, political instability, and democratic values under dispute.
