The review of the topic is based on rapidly growing technicalization of the world and necessity to include this aspect as a fundamental for engineering education. Technical reality changes attitude to engineer’ competences and knowledge, concept of «engineering thinking», and responsibility of the engineering community. An engineer, creating a technique, has technical power in a man-made society. The desire to overcome the technocratic nature of education resulted in the need for philosophical thoroughness of engineering and technical education. The educational paradigm is in line with the development of scientific knowledge. The article draws attention to the connection between modern paradigm of scientific development and humanitarian component of contemporary education system. The synergistic convergent paradigm of scientific knowledge of the postmodern era is characterized by an interdisciplinary direction of scientific research: the integration of scientific, technical, natural science and socio-humanitarian knowledge. The anthropological perspective of philosophy reinforces its importance in solving the problems of interaction between man and technology. The analysis of scientific literature helped the author to synthesize ideas about the role of philosophy in the modern paradigm of knowledge. The authenticity of the article lies in the author's justification of the most important reasons for studying the discipline «Philosophy of Science» in the master's program of technical universities.

The paper begins by considering the profession of pedagogist and then looks at the challenges faced by pedagogists in educational practice, with a focus on the activities to which pedagogists want to devote more time in conditions of change, and on the ways in which pedagogists obtain information on the results of their work in schools. The paper presents part of the findings of a study on the the views of pedagogists-educationalists in primary and secondary schools in Serbia. The aim of the research was to identify the professional activities to which pedagogists want to devote their activities in educational practice, and the ways they are informed about the results of their work at the level of the school, noting the differences related to the type of school in which pedagogists are employed. The findings of the research are indicative and suggest that the activities to which pedagogists want to devote more time at work are primarily professional development and student counselling, while the findings concerning the way in which pedagogists are informed about the results of their work point to the need for more enterprising, active and effective action by school pedagogists in educational practice which will also affect the work of pedagogists in the contemporary education system

Most contemporary education systems around the world have been following the one-size-fits-all instructional model that is designed to meet the needs of the “average” learners. As many countries are striving to reform education, a new education system that emphasizes and encourages personalization in learning is needed. This chapter argues that a shift is needed from standardizing education to supporting learner variability in personalized learning (PL) environments designed according to Universal Design for Learning (UDL). To contextualize the perspective, the authors introduce the concepts of PL, UDL, and the global educational context in which they are taken from. Taking a pragmatist perspective, they highlight how these concepts can be investigated using design-based research to extend and promote radical growth in the educational system. This chapter concludes with implications for research, policy, and practices for supporting the design and implementation of PL based on UDL.

Education in the 21st Century is considered one of the basic needs in society, although millions of people are remaining out of the boundary of minimum literacy. In such circumstance, the digital age has come with a plethora of promises, in transforming the way people are living in the present, from earlier decades. Despite having inequalities in digital-initiated “equality,” developing education systems throughout the world are getting into touch with digital technology. Bangladesh, as a developing country with increased economic solvency, is enduring a metamorphosis in academic culture, more precisely in teaching and learning. The previous practice of pedagogues and learners are challenged by new age communication and the education system based on digital technology. This chapter investigates the essential characteristics of the transformation of teaching and learning in Bangladesh. It also examines the correlation with digital technology and academic factors in the contemporary education system and gives recommendations to overcome the crises still dwelling within the education framework.
