Introduction:
Modern education, school, and pupil present before the teacher a number of
challenges resulting from social expectations. Focusing on students needs and
understanding the dynamics of changes occurring in society clearly demonstrate the
mental differences between generations and the need for rapid adaptation to new
conditions; this phenomenon, in turn, is associated with the flexibility of minds and
taking actions aimed at developing competences that will enable young people to
function successfully on the labour market in the future.
An important source of the contemporary economic competitiveness and, at
the same time, a key economic resource is knowledge and the ability to use it for
taking innovative actions. Therefore, human capital, intellectual resources, and striving
for unconventional and innovative actions are an important area of pedagogical
work in a modern school. An innovative economy will not be developed without creative
thinking, creative problem solving, the ability to communicate in various multicultural
groups and, most importantly, without knowledge concerning many fields of science.
Striving for developing self-education skills and preparing students for lifelong
learning is the primary task at all levels of education, from kindergarten to university
education. However, the desired knowledge must also be enriched over time through
gaining professional experience and cooperation with the social environment.
