School in the Society of Knowledge – the Ontodidactic Perspective

Abstract

School education needs to be changed, because schoolchildren nowadays are not as they used to be in the past. Their childhood and the surrounding world are different and these factors are changing much quicker and more intensively than the schools. In such a way we must deal with the cognitive competences of pupils (their school achievements, understand¬ing processes, thinking and problem-solving).A question needs to be asked – what should be evaluated: knowledge and skills or rather values, beliefs and attitudes?

Should we pay more attention to how the pupil is changing during the learning process, to (what is happening now) what he or she knows or, even more often, what does he or she not know.

A new education model should create a society of knowledge or even a society of wisdom – lead to creative, prospective and innovative education, appreciating activity, creativity and subjectivity of the pupils.
