Stjepan Rodek ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Splitu

Abstract

The paper discusses the emergence of a new learning culture, aided with the development of digital media. In its first part, the concept of a new culture of learning is analyzed and its significant characteristics are specified. In that framework, numerous new forms of learning are also discussed, especially in the context of adult education and lifelong learning. The implementation of new media and new forms of learning has caused significant changes in the traditional instruction culture. An analysis of those changes starts from the constructivist paradigm of learning, which has significantly changed some perceptions of the nature of the process of learning and teaching. In accordance with that, issues of a new organisation of learning and teaching are also considered, as well as the role of the teacher in those processes. Particular attention is paid to the significance of the new WEB 2.0 technology for education.
