Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
This is why, in a society of the future, education will play an essential role in creating the new way of life specific to knowledge and learning based society. The introduction in the educational system of new teaching techniques is a prerequisite to national economic and cultural success, as well as to increased economic competitiveness. The human civilization with its new technologies can only exist while the focus on the elements and variables of human personality. The traits of intellectual and original creativity seem to tend to play a major role. “The immediate change is the intellectualization of the work process that puts the accent on creativity and opens a new free horizon to the decision-making process” (Toffler, 1995). In developing a curriculum (whether in a specific subject area, or more broadly as the whole range of offerings in an educational institution or system), a number of difficult decisions need to be made. Issues such as the proper ordering or sequencing of topics in the chosen subject, the time to be allocated to each topic, the lab work or excursions or projects that are appropriate for particular topics, can all be regarded as technical issues best resolved either by educationists who have a depth of experience with the target age group or by experts in the psychology of learning. But there are deeper issues, ones concerning the validity of the justifications that have been given for including particular subjects or topics in the offerings of formal educational institutions.
