Education, Knowledge, and Transformation: Perspectives for Understanding Contemporary Challenges

Abstract

Issue 38, Volume 20 (2026) of the journal *Panorama* brings together research and reflections addressing various contemporary educational challenges from cognitive, affective, inclusive, rural, intercultural, and philosophical perspectives. The studies employ qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches to analyze educational experiences, cognitive processes, disability assessment practices, rural financial education, and the teaching of logic. Additionally, literature reviews examine transformations in professional training for marketing and the role of oral tradition in intercultural bilingual education. Collectively, the articles highlight the importance of understanding educational phenomena within their specific contexts and of strengthening pedagogical practices that are sensitive to diversity, social transformation, and the unique characteristics of local territories.
