Memetic Engineering for Permanent Education in Line with Sustainable Growth
Given the recent point of view of the European Commission regarding the implementation of a new strategy for sustainable growth and jobs, this paper emphasises the opportunity and urgency of supporting the EU 2020 strategy, providing an appropriate educational tool for the knowledge society. The main objectives are: a. adapting memetic engineering expressed in terms of General System Theory to the teaching component of permanent education based on bounded rationality and "Just in Time"as key tools for fighting cognitive chaoplexity in the post-industrial era; b. facilitating the use of memetic engineering based on its double-faceted nature: as both positive and negative feedback; c. extendi…
Sustainable Development: E-teaching (now) for Lifelong E-Learning
Abstract To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day. LAO TZU , “Tao Te Ching” The paper aims at convincing psychologist to cooperate in permanent education, by giving them a general idea about the first objectives of the PhD thesis titled “Nondeterministic e-Teaching for Sustainable Development in Rapidly Changing Environments”: a) Validating the role of e-teaching for sustainable development in Eastern Europe in line with the Europe 2020 strategy. (Europe 2020 is a 10-year strategy proposed by the European Commission on 3 March 2010 for reviving the economy of the European Union. It aims at “smart, sustainable, inclusive growth” with greater coordi…
Bounded Rationality for “Just In Time” Education
Abstract If you cannot get answers keep putting questions The paper has three targets: a) Taken per se , it advances the research presented in a series of seven papers about education in a post-industrial (i.e., service-oriented) society broadening the scope from engineering to any kind of education reachable through reachable through permanent endeavour. b) Regarded as part of a “EU 2020 research cluster” with the aim to pro pose affordable approaches to education for sustainable development, the paper reveals bounded rationality (BR) as common denominator of, mechanism for, and connection between the two facets of permanent education: e- teaching and e- learning , the research aiming to m…
Transdisciplinary niches fostering Lifelong Learning
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to outline a new approach of lifelong learning in the light of transdisciplinarity niches. Considering the issues education is currently confronting, a way to find solutions to these problems could be transdisciplinary research, consisting in transdisciplinary niches. The paper continues some previous research made in “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu in order to adapt engineering education to lifelong learning. It also provides two examples of transdiciplinary niches presented in two doctoral theses, which are now developed by “EU 2020 research cluster” in the aforesaid university. Both theses require a transdisciplinary approach and involve fields fr…
