Summary/Abstract: The book is a post-conference volume of the 11th Pedagogical Congress and is devoted to the issue formulated as Turning point. Crises in educational contexts – challenges for pedagogy. It is a collection of texts by the participants of the session organized by the editors of the volume, which combined the interests of critical pedagogues, sociologists of education and social pedagogues, focusing on social, structural and environmental conditions, going beyond the constructivist paradigm, through the pluralism of ideas and interpretative frameworks. The events of recent decades, and in, new crises such as climate change, pandemics, ethnic and cultural wars, mass migration, religious fundamentalism, the monopoly of neoliberal economies, the expansion of poverty, the pathogenic use of the Internet, educational systems in the service of the past, constitute constant challenges for pedagogy (including social inequalities in education). The authors of the texts seek an answer to the question: What should pedagogy be like in the 21st century? What is its social, political, economic and cultural role, locally and globally? What actions should educators take in the face of growing inequalities and increasing uncertainty?
