Considerations on the influence of digital technology regarding education in Romania

Abstract

Digital education is one of the basic preoccupations of Romanian education that contributes to the formation of digital information and communication culture at every citizen level. Without an educated population eager to use information and communication technologies, no community can truly participate in the global network. Through the development of technology and the emergence of modern means of information, the perception of education is changing and the major development centers in the field of education are trying to bring education to another level, basically using the young generation's dependence on new technologies by developing online platforms which students and students can easily access, but also accessible to teachers who wish to align their teaching methods with current modern requirements. Considering the above-mentioned aspects, the main objective of this paper was to investigate the specialized literature of this field and to make a critical synthesis of the current state of influence on digital technology regarding the activity of Romanian education in the context contextually imposed by the requirements of integration in the globalized world.

“…Therefore, a concern for decentralization appeared and the education system was one of the pillars to benefit from such a change (Popescu, 2010). So, a system, in which all the decisions in terms of curriculum, choice of textbooks and management were imposed solely by the state (Popescu, 2010) (Ciurea, 2019), was gradually replaced by a system more oriented towards European values (Cătană & Cătană, 2010) (Marga, 2002), facilitating thus Romania's integration in the European Union in 2007 (Marga, 2002).…”
