TRENDS IN THE 21st CENTURY EDUCATION: 10.24250/JPE/2/2020/VI
No full textThe implementation of new information technologies is considered one of the most important problems at the beginning of this century. This enterprise involves the introduction of computers and gadgets into education and requires the use of modern methods and techniques. In both developed and developing countries, young people are increasingly dependent on technology. Employers are beginning to demand new competencies in order to increase competitiveness in a global market. Entrepreneurial skills are considered key competencies, and entrepreneurship education prepares people to be responsible and enterprising people. Intercultural education is the answer to cultural diversity, in a connected and multicultural world. All the contents of education are important, but we believe that the emphasis should fall on these three dimensions: digital education, entrepreneurship education and intercultural education. Meant to observe, the present research aims to identify the main directions in the field of education, to present the ways of adapting to the new social conditions and to highlight the difficulties encountered in this endeavour. The purpose of this study is to highlight the main aspects of education that are specific for the beginning of the 21st century. The reform of education requires more than a list of competencies. It requires a radiography of the problems faced by education, a listing of its vulnerabilities and, depending on the specific of the current society, establishing certain clear directions of action

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHERS’ HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WORKING WITH CHILDREN WITH BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
No full textAbstract: Today's modern school, globalization and the development of technology, bring great challenges, not only for teachers, but for the whole society. Problems in children's behavior are a serious social and psychological problem. People who follow children’s development and want them to change are those who are constantly improving, applying the key concepts of holistic education, until they see the change.
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of a holistic approach, in which the teacher is not only an educator but also a companion and a facilitator, one that helps and facilitates the learning process (Farbes, 1996). It is important that we monitor the child's development from all aspects. Encouraging children for positive development and creativity, seeing them as decision makers in their environment, are just some of the elements of applying holism.
Key words: undesirable behaviors; holistic approach; prevention of behavior;

ASPECTS OF CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING FOR TEENAGERS: doi>10.24250/JPE/1/2020/LCT
No full textAcademic and career guidance, seen as a component of the instructional-educational process, constitutes one of the fundamental objectives of the education system. Hence the important role that school plays in the training and education of individuals and, therefore, in their academic and career guidance. The most important role in academic and professional orientation lies with the school, as it trains the personality of the student (and implicitly the traits necessary for choosing an educational and career path). If school is considered the main factor in education, having a major importance in orientation, the role of family and other decisive factors should not be minimized either when it comes to the students’ choices. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the weight and influence of the factors involved in teenagers’ choice of academic and career path. We assumed that the role of the school in the decision of academic and professional orientation of teenagers is diminished in comparison to the role of the other factors, in which case taking measures regarding the revaluation of the importance assigned to schools in the academic and professional orientation process could lead to an optimization of the process. In this context, we consider it necessary to emphasize the role that school has to play in this regard, especially by intensifying the activities of the school counsellors in the direction of academic and professional orientation, in parallel with increasing the collaboration with the teenagers’ families, in order to achieve influences that are well-grounded, motivated and concordant between the school and the family

No full textThe school for diversity allowed for a new approach to the learningactivities in school, which is also determined by the need to ensure equalopportunities for access to education for all members of a community. Inthis respect, many studies have evaluated teacher attitudes towards theintegration and inclusion of children with special educational needs inschools. Our research aimed at identifying a significant relationshipbetween the attitudes of teachers in mass education on the school inclusionof students with SEN and the underlying factors. The group of subjectsincluded a total of 961 teachers in primary and middle education inRomania. The findings of the research have shown the existence of adiversity of attitudes, perceptions and opinions about the opportunity ofintegrating students with SEN into mainstream education; some perceptionshighlight the role and importance of common learning experiences in aschool and focus on the need for special efforts by all actors involved, bothat system and school level. There are also opponents who do not exploit thiseducational practice in schools in our country, but are rather attached tothe traditional model partially characterized by numerous prejudices,stereotypes and negative attitudes towards students with SEN

No full textEverybody knows that education is the backbone of a nation. Thecountries which have realized that motto and invested a lot for a long timefor sustainable development of the education sector of the country, they arenow forerunner in innovation, world influence, employment, innovativethinking, world-class health care service, technology, ideological influenceand even military advancement. They have diversified educationinvestments which have had defused the progress in all sectors. On thecontrary, there are many countries which are wealthier than manydeveloped countries, but for creative ideas, educational advancement,climate change and even for major decisions, they rely on some specificadvanced countries. These countries cannot ensure sustainabledevelopment of their own as they rely on others. Besides, some countriesmostly depend on natural resources which are now facing constraint forplummeting of the price of those assets due to worldwide economicdepression or the invention of alternative option. The countries which havethe best education in the world, they have more researchers and diversifiedworld-class education system and creativities to cope up with the changingworld circumstances. Therefore, education financing opens up a variety ofemployment opportunities which leads to the reduction of the crime rate ofa country—consequently, leads to the sustainable economic development ofa nation
IMPLICATIONS OF THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ON EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES IN EARLY EDUCATION: 10.24250/JPE/2/2020/DMF
No full textAccording to Albert Einstein, the environment is „everything that is not meâ€. His perspective on the concept of environment is broad and comprehensive and is applicable to educational contexts. In this vision, the environment designates the learning taken together with the whole physical, socio-cultural framework in which it takes place.
The concept of learning environment, as stated in a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) dedicated to this issue, is an „organic, holistic one that includes the learning processes and the contexts that host them; it is an ecosystem that integrates learning activity and outcomes.†(OECD, 2013, p. 22) Some clarifications are required for the clearer delimitation of the term stated above: The term speaks about the socio-educational space and not only about the physical one, although this limiting perception is very common. The concept also refers to classrooms, furniture, arrangement of walls and centers of interest, their ability to provide healthy learning contexts that respect the rules of hygiene and ergonomics, the possibilities of positive interaction. Without all this, based on the pyramid of needs in a kindergarten, it is difficult to build effective teaching approaches that facilitate the socialization and preparation of the child for school as part of the preparation for social life. In this sense, the concept does not only refer to „spacesâ€, „facilitiesâ€, „material baseâ€, but also their integration in relevant activities in order to ensure the well-being of children and reach at the end of preschool the competence profile of the child ready for type learning. school and the success of the later adult. That is why the physical learning environment is closely related to the learning environment - called by Loris Malaguzzi „the third teacher†- which implicitly and explicitly creates teaching options for teachers and children. Space makes tacit but visible statements, „space speaksâ€, as E.T. Hall, speaks in front of teachers and sometimes in their place. The same theory is supported by Maria Montessori whose philosophical essence in this consists in the idea that „the environment / space instructsâ€.
And according to ISSA, the learning environment greatly influences the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of children. By creating a stimulating and safe physical and mental environment, the teacher encourages children's learning, through independent exploration and group play. The environment influences kindergarten practices and affects children's learning.
In the UK, responsible pedagogy is used to enable every child to demonstrate learning in the fullest sense. It depends on the use of information assessment to plan relevant and motivating learning experiences for each child. This approach to improving the learning environment is specific to all countries, but also to our country; however, there are major principles that can lead to the creation of more child-centered, efficient and innovative environments. The World Bank and its partners in the OECD Center for Effective Learning Environments have extensive experience in middle-income countries in reforming countries approaches to learning environments. The new pedagogy of the educational environment would propose substantial reconsiderations, made „with meaning and purposeâ€, not only to „decorate†classes, to organically introduce modern technologies in teaching, not just to add them artificially as „otherwise†options. And all this in order to activate the environments in order to ensure the formative experiences and for the preschoolers to feel good in kindergarten, to feel safe not only physically, but to feel „at homeâ€
