Twenty-fifth International Conference on Learning

Abstract

Mass-education requires increased learning efforts since human teaching resources are too limited and expensive. Actually, it requires a new Learning Culture stepping away from the idea that students are customers and teachers provide some teaching services. The student-consumer-and-rater-of-the- “services” approach is rapidly becoming an obstacle to the adaptive and large-scale transformation of modern higher education system as well as its further life-long continuation. A new Culture of Learning requires different approaches, methods, technologies, and attitudes among students and teachers and should be increasingly based on online sources and communications. Such Culture has to be supported by the government, educational organizations, educational “workers,” and students.
