Educational Paradigms in Contemporary Context and Educational Implications to the Potentiality Level of the Preadolescent Students
Educational Paradigms in Contemporary Context and Educational Implications to the Potentiality Level of the Preadolescent Students

Summary/Abstract: The requirements for an education centered on the student and for adapting the school to the learning possibilities of the students are in accordance with the new principles of the contemporary education and pedagogy and with the European educational documents, which are the base of constructing the contemporary educational systems. The idea of the education centered on the student – as person with individual characteristics that need to be valued and capitalized in education – is highlighted by the postmodern educational paradigm and by the constructivist approach of knowledge and education. Post modern tendencies mostly correspond to the constructivist approach in education, especially through the role given to the student concerning knowledge acquisition, and altering the role of the teacher and learning strategies with a strong formative aspect. The study tries to identify a series of educational implications related to the psychic cognitive and emotional - motivational processes specific to preadolescents students under the form of applicable strategies to the educational practice, implications that are subsumed to the requirement of adapting school to the necessities and possibilities of the student, as dimension of the constructivist paradigm.
