Home – Home – Jornals – Professional Education in the Modern World 2012 number 1

Two models of education are studied in the article: the traditional and the modern, where the latter is supposed to gain a foothold as a result of reforms. Revealing the principal differences between them, the authors establish that at the foundation of the traditional educational model there is the teacher, whereas the modern model is more oriented towards the independence of students. The authors try to figure out whether the creation of the new model is necessary, and whether its implementation will lead to attaining the goals declared by the authors of the reform, which is the creation of a generation of creative persons, able to think critically.
