COLE, Michael. Re-inventing Past Educational Practices for Future Pedagogical Success. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2011, n.40, pp.23-32. ISSN 0123-885X.

In this paper I argue that the future of psychological research on educational processes would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach that enables psychologists to locate their objects of study within the cultural, social, and historical contexts of their research. An examination of anthropological accounts of the characteristics of education in small, face-to-face, pre-industrial societies raises the question of why major challenges have confronted contemporary psycho-educational research that seeks to implement major, qualitative changes in modern educational practices by transforming them to have the properties of education in those same face-to-face societies. The paper concludes with a description of a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary system of education that responds to these challenges while offering a model for educating psychology students in a multi-generational system of activities with potential widespread benefits.
