Abstract:

This article aims to extend the discussion to an emerging theme, education in the networked information society. The approach is of a theoretical, reflective nature, on the teaching-learning process in a digital vision. Today's society is a networked information society in the digital world, its main characteristic being the acquisition of knowledge that is learnt and apprehended in a concrete reality. The education brings a lot of challenges however this article focuses in 3 challenges: the autonomy of the students, the autonomy of the teachers in face of the technologies, the methodologies of agile software development in the teaching-learning process. For that, it was necessary to consider multiple intelligences, artificial intelligence, collective learning, active learning methodologies (such as Project-Based Learning and/or Personal Learning Environment). What we question is the possibility of achieving coevolutive learning by interrelating all these learning and methodologies, through agile process models, such as adaptive software development. In this way, the actors (teachers and students) should become more autonomous beings, more organized, with greater adaptability to the demands of the current society that is emerging to an increasingly digital world. When reflecting about coevolving learning we must understand the concept of evolutionary learning as it allows everyone involved in each situation to make decisions and automatically learn throughout the process. In this way, we can evoke that evolution presupposes collective learning. When investigating coevolutive learning as a process analogous to biology, we find that the species involved in a process, evolve simultaneously because of selective pressures practiced by other species, which directs us to collective learning. If we interrelate multiple intelligences, collective learning, and artificial intelligence, to the concept of coevolution in computer systems, we find that there is more adaptability in the competitive world, the methods applied are process oriented, which allows coevolutive learning to emerge in a faster way. The combination of these elements requires a greater autonomy from both students and teachers. Therefore, in the digital world, the word innovate must accompany all the teaching-learning processes. Since education itself is a process of sharing and collaboration among all the actors involved. In a networked information society in the digital age, there must be freedom of learning, so that there is innovation, creativity and finally coevolutive learning. All the presented contributions may help the development of the teaching-learning process for the digital world
