Abstract

A doctor from one hundred years ago, visiting a modem hospital, would be completely lost. Toe tools, procedures, medicines and the criteria for the doctor' s role would all differ. In contrast, a teacher retuming from one thousand years ago would find many classrooms reassuringly familiar. Toe hierarchy remains teacher-centered in countless classrooms that still feature students quietly listening to lectures. However, education is undergoing massive change, fuelled by technology, research and private and public innovation.
