DIDACTICA MODERNĂ ÎN CONTEXTUL PARADIGMELOR EDUCAŢIONALE ACTUALE
The modern didactics in the context of the actual educational paradigms

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary educational systems are built on new and specific educational principles: global education, continuous learning, inclusive education, non-discriminatory education, the equality of chances, partnerships for education. They are also built on the dimensions of the contemporary pedagogy: reconsidering the role of the student, as main subject of education, passing from hierarchical organized educational systems to educational systems organised as networks, learning through problems solving, stimulating critical thinking, and preoccupation to form competencies, preference for interactive experiments, that generates deep learning. Education adequate to modern democratic societies must be based on the idea that school is not only a tool for transmitting knowledge, but also a social institution in which students build up their knowledge and social skills that will allow them to integrate and successfully adapt to changes in society. It is a place of social learning and personal development that take place in close contact with family, local community and society as a whole. In-depth learning, based on action and empowerment of the learner, vocational skills, integration of application knowledge structures, interactive teaching, inter-and transdisciplinary curriculum are just some concepts and ideas on which modern pedagogy has been based. These have been generated by switching European societies towards globalization and the knowledge society, by the need for synchronization between society and the development of education, by the new assessment results in the education systems, by the need of education integration and globalization. General didactics is not only a theory of teaching, but also a theory and a practice of education and self-education in formal, non-formal and informal contexts for all ages. The term didactics limited to school education and teaching – learning process. Didactics is a fundamental branch of educational sciences and studies the analysis, the design, the development and the evaluation of education as process in schools and other institutions, but also as self-educational process.
