Philosophical aspects of application of information and communication technologies in contemporary continuous education of adults

Abstract

The widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education has raised a number of philosophical questions regarding their role, impact and ethical implications. As technology becomes more integrated into our lives, it is increasingly important to understand the philosophical underpinnings that shape our relationship with it. In the field of education, the use of ICTs has the potential to transform teaching and learning, but also raises concerns about issues such as access, equity, privacy, and control. Philosophical inquiry into the use of ICTs in education can help to illuminate the values and assumptions that underpin different approaches, and can provide a critical lens for evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of different technological interventions. This essay will explore some of the key philosophical questions surrounding the use of ICTs in education, and will consider the implications of different philosophical approaches for the design and implementation of educational technology.
