TEXTBOOK FOR TECHNICAL STUDENTS IN THE LIGHT OF BOLOGNA PROCESS

Abstract
Bologna process should bring changes in terms of organization and methodology, improve the quality of the study process and consequently advance the quality of the knowledge, shorten the study period and encourage the successful termination of the studies. In the course of achieving those aims, a textbook plays an important role. The question, however, arises, how to devise a comprehensive textbook for students of technics, which would lead the students towards the scientific research within the field of technics and promote their intellectual and personal development. Moreover, it should stimulate the students in discovering, reaching conclusions and debating, leading them at the same time towards independent professional productivity. The author of the textbook is therefore faced with a responsible and highly demanding task: how to choose the proper subject, present it in a methodologically and didactically coherent manner, include new media of knowledge transfer and encourage the student towards adopting those sources. Furthermore, the textbook should not lack the activity and channel diversity, bearing in mind thought- provoking, sensory, productive, reproductive ecc. activities. The article for that reason proposes one possible way of addressing the fore-mentioned questions with which the author of a textbook for technical students is inevitably confronted.
