World History For Us All: Big Era 9 Home > The Big Eras > Big Era Nine is different from earlier eras because we do not yet know where it is leading. Nevertheless, we can distinguish some key world historical processes that have been especially important in shaping the current era. Their interactions, sometimes unforeseen, have given rise to major new challenges to humanity. In sum, the world has become increasingly contradictory and paradoxical. Humans and the Environment The single most important development in this era has been the scale of potentially irreversible human impact on the environment. Population growth and its environmental effects. The spread of new medicines such as antibiotics as well as improved sanitation and health care, especially in the world’s burgeoning cities, all played a role. Unprecedented population growth has magnified human impact on forests, croplands, pastures, and seas. Colossal energy consumption and the environment. Humans and Other Humans Big science.

The alphabet, for example, is an artificial structure imposed on spoken language that enables us to read and write. A review of literature from history education and cognitive research strongly suggests that conceptual frameworks, by whatever name, contribute to meaningful understanding and should be a major component of history education. Themes History and geography educators often speak in terms of "themes" that represent an interest in phenomena that are manifested across several historical periods and/or geographic locations, and thus may offer useful insights into how humans generally behave and how the world generally works.

Una pedagogia che diviene prassi concreta se declinata con alcune parole come Riflessività, Comunità, Speranza, Adattabilità che si traducono più concretamente in importanti “crisis skills”. In the age of crisis, the pedagogy needs to revise its praxic and epistemological statute. 1.
