摘要:What changes occur in the transition from the education of the agricultural society to the education of the industrial society, and from the education of the industrial society to the education of the information society?It is a distinctive and important issue for educational researchers to discuss what the new trends in the 21st century education are and where they incline to. The issues addressed here to develop a point of view are the fields of study that have created a paradigmatic change in education in the last two decades and deeply influenced the understanding of education. Those trends have gained recognition of many scientists, theoreticians, educators, researchers and practitioners in the world of education. Numerous quantitative and qualitative scientific studies have been conducted on those fields by scientists in recent years.Those fields of study emerging as reflections of innovations and thoughts in the field of Educational Sciences are basically compiled as active learning, constructivism, problem-based learning, project-based learning, multiple intelligences, brain-based learning, cooperative learning, distance education, lifelong learning, critical thinking, creative thinking and reflective thinking. The dissemination and recognition of the thoughts of those trends depend considerably on the interest, knowledge and preferences of the researchers and practitioners. The active use of the Internet has led to the rapid dissemination and sharing of every novel idea and practice in the scientific world. Therefore, information sharing over the last two decades has shown a rapid increase when compared to the past.
