DIMENSIONS OF CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS: E-LEARNING WITHIN CONTINUOUS TEACHER TRAINING

Summary/Abstract: The current educational systems which are adapted to the specific needs of the school population have been devised according to the ideas and principles of contemporary pedagogy. These are characterized by the following dimensions: reconsideration of the role of the student who becomes the subject of education; using information technology in education (the computer, the Internet, virtual classes) in planning teaching, guiding learning, monitoring the didactic act; learning through problemsolving, stimulating critical thinking; preoccupation to form skills, greater interest shown to interactive experiences, reconstructing the school environment in order to favour interaction, cooperation, experience interchanges, opinions, active listening. Among the objectives set by the Lisbon European Council for a "knowledge based society" there also lies promoting new technologies for teaching and learning: modern computing and communication methods, new teaching materials. Training and continuous professional development of teachers is done in order to develop professional skills, by improving teaching and learning methods, but also to adapt to the demands of new generations of students. Essentially, this involves activities conducted within the educational content of education to adjust / self-regulate the educational process, along with training and developing skills required by the new technologies. Developing skills in information and communication techniques applied in teaching and learning, in the institutional management and data management, skills adapted to the specific requirements of the teaching profession, the types and levels of competences with the European framework operating qualifications Framework (EQF) and the National Framework of qualifications in Higher Education is one of the goals of current programs of continuous training of teachers.
