Changes in Education. An European Perspective

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.
