KNOWLEDGE - FINAL RESULT OR PERMANENT PROGRESS

Nowadays, the world through the eyes of young people probably looks in a different way from the one in the horizon of a previous generation. Why is that? Because today their daily routine is dependent to new technologies, social networking, international training and development programs. In line with this, upon graduation, their jobs require flexible skills, teamwork skills and special competencies for each profession. Did the Higher schools prepare them for the actual practical work, are they aware they will face problems and tasks they are not prepared for, because of many reasons. For the professions of the future and the lifelong learning, analytical and critical thinking, emotional intelligence and competence, effective problem solving, creativity and proactiveness will be required. The way today's students prepare for the time ahead goes through the education. But not the education that exists in most universities presently, but a new education - with other goals and practice-oriented approaches. Universities of the future should not place first the assessment and theoretical knowledge, but the skills and achievements of students, the acquisition of certain competencies. Training should be directed towards enhanced hands-on training and greater involvement of trainees in this process - what they want to do with their hands; to research, to discuss, to search themselves the answers to raised problems. Thus, in addition to theory, they will learn to solve real-life problems they may have better solutions to. Modern technologies come to the rescue as an aid in teaching and communication. In this new education, the role of the teacher is even more important - he is a mentor, tutor, sets the direction for development, notices the individual capacities and talents of each individually, maintains effective feedback, encourages the results achieved. This does not end the learning process, the goal is not to evaluate these high-scoring results, but to work for continuous progress. Then it can be said the teacher has fulfilled his mission. To sum, to make sense and satisfaction for both parties, the dedication from educators and from trainees is needed. Students need to find sense, satisfaction and purpose in what they do. This is the thesis that we will try to prove in this study - the power of tomorrow's knowledge, and its absorption depends on the personality of the teachers and the motivation of the students.
