Pedagogical design in the modern cross-cultural educational system

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to compare educational paradigms in higher education across different cultures in order to clear the choice of the leading principles for pedagogical design to make easier students’ adaptation to a new study environment. The main questions addressed in the paper are: to differentiate educational paradigms from the cultural point of view and depending on them to compare pedagogical discourse, and to highlight the range of pedagogical design questions of understanding how pedagogical solutions and technology could support exchange program students in diverse learning environments. Therefore, all the issues are explored intensively from the perspective of the people who deal with those problems on a day-to-day basis. Although the experience of studying abroad may be enriching in many respects, adaptation to a new study environment is not always easy. Pedagogical design cannot be perfect without the knowledge of the values of the student audience, the habitual for it way of the new academic material presentation, and many other aspects which are rooted in the cultural peculiarities.
