CHANGES IN EDUCATION

Abstract

The changes that are occurring in contemporary societies should be viewed in an educational
perspective. In the case of European Union (EU), an example can be seen in the ongoing effort to arrive
at a unified education system. It seems clear that freedom of circulation for EU citizens and their ability
to work and study in different countries is closely linked with a similarity in educational backgrounds.
In line with these purposes, an experimentation was undertaken with first year university students of
Political Science at the University of Teramo, Italy. A focus group was created with students
administered with different teaching methods, looking at how they interact with the learning process
and skills. In addition, the Dublin Descriptor expected from the European Educational Reforms, are
considered. Another important aspect in the evolution of this debate is linked to computers and the
internet implications which changes the entire approach to knowledge and understanding. The Covid-
19 emergence has also outlined the importance of teaching, learning and working using new
technologies and the advantages and multitasking opportunities of the new generations faced to internet.
