Abstract

We approach education from the perspective of the first hackers, those who were passionate about shared programming and open source, and who, nowadays, inspire everyone who understands human knowledge as a common good. From the hacker ethics, we highlight some principles to reflect on education, such as: freedom, passion, openness, social value, care, political action and creativity. The contemporary world stresses democracy and brings a new demand to education for citizenship. Such a context requires a paradigm shift that, we defend, can be inspired by the hacker spirit. Among other issues, it proposes the understanding of teachers and researchers as public intellectuals, who are committed to their social and cultural environment. They can assume the political role of educators as activists in the education of citizens that are involved in social transformation through collective and collaborative practices undertaken through digital networks. The articles included in this special issue take a closer look at this entire technological and educational ecosystem to broaden the theoretical debate and propose a change of perspective for public policy and teachers training.
