Author(s): Arlinda Beka / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2014

Professional development is a continuous trend of youth in Kosovo. The tendency of the students and other youth to reach relevant information, which affects their professional, pushes them to refer to various sources of information. So far the main sources of information are considered local newspapers, television advertisements and newsletters that have been displayed in different locations. Now these information platforms are considered inappropriate by the youth. They prefer more to use the social networks where they can access information. Social networks that are mostly used among the youth of our country are considered Facebook, Twiter and LinkedIn. This paper presents data on how students of the University of Prishtina regular use social networks.

Deontologia evaluarii in contextul cresterii calitatii actului educational

Author(s): Oana Buhosu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

L’étude met en evidence que l’évaluation scolaire est un moyen de communiquer les résultats d’apprentissage de l’élève. L’évaluation scolaire est un retour pour l’élève et l’enseignant. L’évaluation est effectuée par rapport à certaines règles. L’opération d’évaluation est une action intégrée pour une activité pédagogique et non un élément ajouté au processus d’apprentissage. De nombreux facteurs et situations variés déterminent ou conditionnent l’acte d’appréciation des résultats obtenus par les élèves et les étudiants dans le processus d’apprentissage. Du point de vue de la déontologie de l’évaluation, la correspondance entre le programme d’études et les normes d’évaluation, une correspondance ayant pour point de référence un ensemble de valeurs, est surprenante.

Analiza SWOT a sistemului educational la nivel preuniversitar

Author(s): Simona Felegean / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

The educational system should create capable, motivated and optimistic young people with high emotional intelligence. In its essence, education policy must understand that the best way to allow people to build on their potential is to value them for who they are rather than for their performances according to fixed targets. All schools should adopt a strategy which promotes the emotional, social and psychological welfare of the young people. Curricula should be widened to include more opportunities linked to sport, arts, creativity and other similar activities. At an early stage in their lives, young people should be given information about the types of satisfaction derived from different kinds of life choices, maybe by studying the concept of „welfare” in details. An educational system that promotes prosperity will lead to increased productivity, a more entrepreneurial society and more active citizens. The computerization of Romanian schools is a real necessity, determined by the natural penetration/entry/usage of information technology in all areas of economic life and also by the necessity of aligning education with the economic and social requirements.

Cercetarea psihopedagogica - un experiment eficient

Author(s): Iuliana Oica / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

Considérant que l’un des principaux objectifs des études littéraires dans les écoles secondaires est de permettre aux élèves de comprendre l’appartenance d’une poésie à un courant littéraire et de produire des essais simples du type d’argumentation d’un poème étudié en symbolisme, selon l’hypothèse selon laquelle le problème, associé à d’autres méthodes d’activation, peut contribuer de manière évidente à la réalisation de l’objectif susmentionné, à condition que cela devienne une préoccupation permanente. À partir de l’hypothèse ci‑dessus, je propose d’organiser une expérience qui vise l’efficacité des méthodes actives et interactives, en particulier la formation des compétences des étudiants pour identifier les particularités du symbolisme dans un texte poétique, mettre en évidence la relation entre le réservoir d’idées et les moyens artistiques utilisés par le poète, pour exprimer un point de vue argumenté sur la signification du texte poétique choisi, avec comme les points impliqués dans cette opération: observation, pensée critique, créativité, imagination.

Educatia "Outside the box", sistemul de invatamant finlandez

Author(s): Florina Protopopescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

This paper presents the concept of „ouside the box”education which is the education that happens in our natural environment: in the neighborhood, around the dinner table, in the garden, wherever we meet up and have the chance for positive exchange. If we come together in a spirit of positive action as opposed to pointing out our issues, we will have stronger and healthier individuals, families and communities. In Finland, traditional methods of education, where students tend to learn subjects from a course book and then copy the answers, have proven not to motivate students enough. In this simple process, students are not encouraged to spen any time thinking. Teaching subjects is overrated, the future is the phenomenon-based learning.

Author(s): Stefana Magdan,Malina Comanac,Georgiana Hanganu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

L’œuvre met en évidence plusieurs façons d’apprendre et de développer chaque individu. Tout d’abord, nous discutons de l’importance des films documentaires, considérés comme un moyen d’évolution. L’éducation non formelle nous pousse à travailler en équipe, car les étudiants sont impliqués dans la conception, l’organisation et la conduite d’activités écologiques. Étudier dans un contexte non formel permet d’accumuler de nouvelles connaissances, compétences, attitudes; soutient le développement personnel des individus / groupes. La non‑formalité éducative peut être perçue comme une évasion de sa propre vie, vers celle créée spécialement par l’individu grâce à l’art d’écrire. L’éducation non formelle fait une bonne sélection d’informations et facilite le travail d’équipe, élargissant l’horizon culturel, renforçant les connaissances dans certains domaines, permettant le développement d’habiletés et d’intérêts spécifiques.

Educatia nonformala - dezvoltare si cunoastere

Author(s): Anne-Marie Simion,Simina Valcinski,Luminita Iacob / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 8/2019

L’œuvre met en évidence que l’éducation n’est pas seulement réalisée dans les établissements d’enseignement, elle dépasse le cadre formel du système. Nous pouvons développer des connaissances à travers la nature, à partir de livres et de musique, d’activités physiques ou artistiques, de documentaires, de films ou même de pratiques spirituelles. Nous devons toutefois comprendre que formel et non formel sont en train de fusionner et de fusionner pour en faire un unitaire. Les activités non formelles décrivent des personnalités fortes à travers des actions visant à développer des personnes stables et courageuses, socialement actives, avides d’affirmation, impliquées dans des activités diverses et motivantes.

Interdisciplinaritatea - modalitatea de formare la elevi a unei imagini unitare a realitatii

Author(s): Iuliana-Viorica Galatanu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 7/2018

This article aims to highlight the interdisciplinary character of learning content. In everyday life we do not use disparate knowledge accumulated from different subjects but instead we integrate them so that we have an unitary reflection of reality. We assumed that the interdisciplinary chemistry‑physics‑biology‑mathematical will approach of the contents of the “Redox Processes” chapter (studied in chemistry in 9th grade) will lead to an increase in learning efficiency in the sense of a deep understanding of the oxidation‑reduction processes and also to a better correlation of theoretically acquired knowledge with applications in practice. The interdisciplinary approach goes on the idea of communicating the common concepts, introducing them from the most general form (a task to be achieved by the discipline in which the concept appears chronologically for the first time), to the particularities specific to the other subjects of education. The research` s topic tries to achieve a unity in knowledge, which means to help the student to have an overview of „redox processes”, because explaining these phenomena calls on information and methods provided by chemistry, physics, mathematics or biology. This study found that interdisciplinary teaching can be applied at all levels of schooling so that students can achieve a coherent representation of reality and as they go through different stages of schooling they supplement and improve this image.
