ICT, Globalization and Education: emerging triad in the new social order

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze ICT, globalization, and education as an emerging triad in the new social order. It was theoretically based on the postulates of experts who, from their perspective, allow contrasting their different conceptions on the subject in question. Methodologically, it is a study associated with the exploratory qualitative paradigm, under the documentary modality with bibliographic design. Among the most relevant findings, it was revealed that science and technology planning must be understood as an instrument of change capable of guiding towards an emerging digital and knowledge society. Indeed, the participation of all the entities responsible for education is required to join efforts and be articulately oriented in a large innovation system, based on the so-called emerging society of knowledge, science, and technology. It was also shown that the use of ICTs in a globalized world has become a fundamental tool for strengthening the different processes carried out through science and technology, by providing greater access to information, storing and processing a greater number of data, and generating value to the intangible products of knowledge and sustainable development.
