Features of Educational Activities in the Contemporary Society

Abstract

The intellectual, cultural, moral and civic value axis of each educable individual is a desirable construct that comes into shape, throughout one’s development, starting with the first educational environment represented by family and continuing through the specific forms/institutions (school, cultural, religious and social institutions). Humanist-democratic tendencies emphasize the need for role-models and educational practices that promote ethical and moral values (truth, justice, altruism) together with socio-emotional attitudes and behaviors (empathy, assertiveness, and consensus). Successful educational solutions aim to develop the socio-educational dimension of human personality.
