From Motivation of Achievement to Understanding—The Way to Success in Education of Information Society
Abstract
The article discusses the necessity for revising the teaching process as dictated by the peculiarities of information society. The interrelation between an approach to education (competence-based) and the content of understanding (subject-oriented) that emerged in the contest of information society has been discovered. The way to success can be paved by organizing a continuous competition among schoolchildren in order to motivate them to achieve success while this motivation consequently results in understanding. A case of teaching Physics serves as grounds for discussion. The conclusion is made that success correlates to interpreting the phenomenon of subject-oriented understanding.
