Introduction
● A dramatic shift of paradigm has ushered in the coming of the
21st century. Changes encompassed all aspects of life; in the
individual, local, national, and global range.
● Spill-over effects of societal changes affect primarily the
educational realm. The current education that we have today
breaks the mold that we know of the past.
● This will broaden your understanding with regards to your
changing roles as educators.
The Changing Landscape of the 21st Century
Changes in the 21st century encompass all aspects of life. Many
change theorists try to categorize these changes. In this lesson, we
will explore the categories of change that were introduced by
James Kyler in 2003. He introduced a model that describes these
changes. He called it the STEEP Model.

STEEP is an abbreviation of Social, Technological, Economic,


Environmental and Political.
