Abstract
Description
The 21st century is showing us a world in constant change. We have seen a huge
technological revolution over the past few years, which enabled the introduction
of global influences and access that would have been unheard of 30 years ago.
Students of any age have a smartphone in their pockets, giving them 24/7 access
to the information highway of the internet. Everything they want to know can be
found out on a Wikipedia page. This is the social, cultural and educational context
in which teachers are immersed, and from this framework it is important to identify
the key profile that is crucial for them to develop in order to meet the needs of this
generation of learners. Globalisation has opened a whole new world for students
and it is time teachers moved away from teaching what to think and learn to
showing students how to do it.
This theoretical research work explores bibliography on the nature of our present
times and the relationship with education and the actors involved in this area.
Moreover, the focus will be on the concept of leadership and its association with
teachers and their performance, proposing courses of actions related to the new
necessary methodologies to empower teachers in their performance. It is an
invitation to reflect on our practices and roles as educators and also to be sensitive
to change and adaptation which are two key words of our present world.
