Abstract
The role of the school and the teacher in the third millennium implies a change of the traditional paradigm, of a magisterial-centric type, which assumes that the teacher-pupil and teacher-student relations to be official, with strictly defined roles and statutes. Thus it is necessary to rethink and redefine the educational systems, especially the learning process, as Ken Robinson states "As much as we love the school, we must accept that it is no longer the only or the main space of knowledge and learning, as it was centuries in a row, but only one of them."(2015) In this sense, an approach perspective that we propose for analysis is given by identifying the references and characteristics of student learning in the online environment or as the traditional form, in the students'classroom environment. Thus, the premise is the learning process, as an individual activity, which involves the student in developing and coordinating his own learning strategy. Even if students, colleagues in the same training program, aim to obtain the same qualifications and competencies, each has its own strategy / learning style, with significant individual differences. The main factors that the student can control, especially in the online learning are: the learning conditions; personal motivation; personality, the degree to which each student is organized, with adaptability and creativity dispositions, volitional qualities etc.; previous qualification and knowledge, the level of initial experience with which the student enters the program (a solid fundamental preparation, in the program field, facilitates the learning activities and makes it easier to acquire new knowledge); the style and the capacity of learning, the experience and the student's capacity of intellectual and social learning (adaptation to the rules and to responsibilities of the education centered on the learner).
The present study has three important objectives: to identify the personal aspects of the students in relation to the preferred learning environment; identifying the level of personal relevance in relation to the informational content of the course support; identifying the preference for learning knowledge integrated in real life, as a step in authentic learning; identification of the personal perspective regarding the organization of the learning, of the structuring of an individual learning plan that involves taking decisions to establish the time periods, of conscious organization of the learning activities, as a premise of the student's autonomy in the learning activity. |
