Postphenomenology and Technologies within Educational Settings

Description

Technologies such as tablets, plagiarism software, and learning videos are now an important part of teaching and learning around the world. The underlying human-technology relations that shape modern educational settings have a decisive influence on what education is and will be in the future.
This volume applies the analytical tools of postphenomenology to the context of education. In three sections, the contributors present empirical evidence on the use of technology in schools, show conceptual convergences with current theories relevant to education and training, and challenge and reframe the technologically situated subject as the goal of education in relation to technology.
This collection, edited by Markus Bohlmann and Patrizia Breil, opens up the research field of postphenomenology to the broad field of educational technologies. Postphenomenology and Technologies Within Educational Settings extends the scope of the philosophy of technology and further expands its repertoire of theories and analytical tools.

“This collection is a work of art that will undoubtedly become a seminal text and highly cited for many years to come. It is a call to action for human beings to be more attentive to the ways in which technologies mediate our relations with and in the world during a time in which this has never been more pressing given the rapid growth and power of big tech companies, artificial intelligence, social technology platforms, immersive technologies, and big data in educational technologies. Even more significantly, this work is a wake-up call for us to see the ways that educational technologies are not neutral, but rather constitute subject and world. It is our moral and ethical responsibility as human beings to exercise our freedoms in how technologies impact us. It is a critical time for education. Empowering human beings with freedom and agency has never been more important. Bohlmann and Breil’s timely collection has never been more deeply needed than at our present moment”
