12. To be, Or Not to be (Informed)? An Unthinkable Choice

Abstract

The reported research refers to the implications of Information Theory, Information and Communication Technologies and Applied Ontologies, in the educational process, in general, with specific attention to artistic education. We emphasize the major role of the informational methods for knowledge organisation, calling on such concepts as shared use and interoperability of information, in the context of the recent teaching and learning paradigms shift. Three contributions with significant potential are introduced: an extension of the navigationist paradigm and two formal methods, aiming at improved information processing for teaching and learning in the arts, with a new perspective on the definition of the work of art.

10. Ecology of Information, a Beneficial Comprehensive Approach in Arts Higher Education

“…In a previous research, we proposed a short motivation on the importance one must give to the information-driven perspective, both as citizens of the Information Society and as professionals working in education. Moreover, we performed a brief review and explanation of the systemic vision and also the approaches named as 'applied formal ontologies' (Grigoraș 2022citing Gruber 1993, Munn et al 2008, Guarino 2009). The remarkable results recorded in the last decade by information technologies are a result of the boost of the computing and storage power of digital machines, the increase of formalization capability (description, modeling by computer program) and to make inferences like in the case of artificial intelligence.…”
