POLICY OF CHANGES IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: PRECONDITIONS FOR NEW TRENDS AND MANIFESTATION CONTEXTS
Journal Title: SVIETIMAS: POLITIKA, VADYBA, KOKYBE - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The research deals with theoretical and methodological policy-making problems with regard to changes in the teaching and learning environment. In the conditions of the rapidly globalizing world and in the course of change processes in education the learners’ community encounters new challenges. Emerging trends of lifelong learning necessitate to conceptually rethink and theoretically ground goals and objectives of the policy of changes in the teaching and learning environment, arising to the system of education, draw new or revise guidelines of the strategy of its formation and implementation. Looking for new ways of formation and implementation of policy of changes in the teaching and learning environment, it is particularly important to fully perceive the context of its functioning, to adequately assess the type and scope of new objectives arising to it, and to reflect on contexts of manifestation of new trends in the teaching and learning policy. The article deals with issues of the policy of changes in the teaching and learning environment in two key aspects. First, it is aimed to disclose links between theoretical discourse and the current policy of the teaching and learning environment, demonstrating how the postmodern shift in education transforms the conceptual model of the teaching and learning environment. Second, it is sought to discuss the state of the current discourse on changes in the teaching and learning environment in Europe and Lithuania, analysing how various preconditions for changes function in the public domain of the educational policy and in the educational area, and the type and content of their manifestation. The shift of scientific thinking to the area of narration about change processes visualized the discursive narrative. This originates from the refusal of essentialist concepts of politics, which directly led to political deconstruction-reconstruction procedures of changes in the teaching and learning environment.
