Educational systems around the world are under increasing pressure to use the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) to teach students the knowledge and skills they need in the 21st century. The 1998 UNESCO World Education Report, Teachers and Teaching in a Changing World, describes the radical implications the new information and communication technologies have for conventional teaching and learning. It predicts the transformation of the teaching-learning process and the way teachers and learners gain access to knowledge and information.

Hacia las sociedades del conocimiento: informe mundial de la UNESCO

 

Cabe preguntarse si tiene sentido construir sociedades del conocimiento, cuando la historia y la antropología nos enseñan que desde la más remota antigüedad todas las sociedades han sido probablemente sociedades del conocimiento, cada una a su manera. Hoy como ayer, el dominio del conocimiento puede ir acompañado de un cúmulo importante de desigualdades, exclusiones y luchas sociales. Durante mucho tiempo el conocimiento fue acaparado por círculos de sabios o iniciados. El principio rector de esas sociedades del conocimiento reservado era el secreto

The 2009 meeting of the G8 in Italy comes a few months after the launch of the third edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report on 16 March 2009 during the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul.
This third edition signifies an important transition in the World Water Development Report series; a transition from a status report on the world’s water-related challenges to a report that paints a holistic picture of our global water resources, with water sub-sectors and challenge areas understood within the broader context of socioeconomics. It acknowledges that most decisions that have an impact on water resources (on their state and on how we use and manage them) come from outside the ‘water box’ of the traditional water sector.

Managing Water Resources

 

Water resources management is increasingly interdisciplinary and must take into account complex socio-economic factors and environmental variables. This volume describes the 'systems approach' and its application to contemporary water resources management, focusing on three main sets of tools: simulation, optimization and multi-objective analysis. This approach is presented in the context of sustainable planning and development under conditions of uncertainty. There are two particular features of Managing Water Resources: its introduction of system dynamic simulation as a tool for integrated modeling and its coverage of the use of fuzzy sets for incorporating objective and subjective uncertainties.
