New Paradigms in Education, Knowledge and Communication in the Age of Globalisation
Descarca
The volume brings together scientific and cultural studies in interconnected areas: the reform of European higher education, academic education and scientific research, communication, multilingualism and multiculturalism, all of them situated under the aegis of knowledge in the Age of Knowledge and Era of Globalisation. The studies are the result of the author’s scientific research, in an inter- and transdisciplinary holistic approach, which aims to highlight the processes of change in the areas addressed, their essence and importance for education, research, science, culture, communication and knowledge. These studies, published in various scientific Romanian reviews, are issued in a volume in order to make a range of information, data, ideas and interpretations related to the higher education and scientific research fields, but also to broader areas of multilingual and multicultural knowledge and communication accessible to academics, researchers, and to all categories of interested public.
The volume New Paradigms in Education, Knowledge and Communication in the Age of Globalisation is structured in four chapters: Higher Education and the Reform Process, Multilingualism and Communication - New Dimensions and Challenges, English or How to Communicate in the Tower of Babel, Multiculturalism and Globalisation. The first chapter discusses the changes taking place in higher education and scientific research in Europe under the Bologna Process, highlighting the implications of these changes on the educational process itself, on the quality and efficiency of education, on the development of scientific research, on knowledge as a whole. Concepts as quality, excellence, innovation and creativity, inclusive and responsive universities, massification, lifelong learning etc. are critically examined in a critique of the reform that reveals its advantages and benefits, but also the risks involved by some processes, such as massification, for example. The second chapter discusses the philosophy of the EU unity in diversity leading principle, analyzes the multilingualism and multiculturalism concepts in European and global context, stressing on the importance of multilingual education policies at national, European and global levels. In this context, the higher education institutions have a crucial role in the development of multilingual education, in foreign languages teaching and learning. That is why chapters two and three are focused on their role in foreign languages teaching and learning, in language skills training, in the development of multilingual and multicultural communication competencies with undergraduates and postgraduates. The third chapter underlines the special status of English language – lingua franca, universal language – in the Globalisation Era. English is the language of communication and knowledge, the language of globalisation in the current era of humanity and, probably, in the future time. Therefore learning and mastering it to the highest standards of proficiency should be a central concern of the higher education institutions. The fourth chapter deals with the theme of multiculturalism and globalisation through a case study, that attempts to capture the spectacular metamorphoses of the current reality of China, a fascinating synthesis of millenary civilization, avant-gardism and postmodernism with universal openness, in the Era of Globalisation.
Through the ideas and interpretations it launches, the volume New Paradigms in Education, Knowledge and Communication in the Age of Globalisation is an open work, a challenge to innovation and creativity through critical thinking related to the nowadays evolutions, shaping the individual’s and the world’s existence, aiming to the advancement of knowledge and to the elevation of the human spirit, beyond the frontiers of the present.
