SOME GENERAL TRENDS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN NATURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION IN THE BEGINNING OF 21ST CENTURY

As a result of tremendous development of science and technology our modern life has become very complex. Diversity and speed has become the main characteristics of our life today. Actual changes in life always are followed by corresponding changes (reforms and transformations) in education, because education means specially organized gaining of life experience for life. Life experience – it means not only knowledge, not only knowledge and skills, but all together knowledge, attitudes or values and skills (Broks, 2010). Education as a process of gaining life experience includes not only traditional learning/teaching, but also development of corresponding value orientation – attitudes. This note is very important today when globalization processes have initiated a loss of clear value orientation for future development of human's life on global as well as on local scale. World needs more clever and honest people tomorrow when we have today.
