“…The third interpersonal communication domain identified in this study is related to learners' engagement with their instructors. "The length and quality of the education at schools assume a critical role for the ability and motivation which are targeted at prospective learning situations" which requires "[a] strategy of lifelong learning [during] school years" (Demirel, 2009(Demirel, , p. 1709). Students' interaction with their instructors during the school years have a serious impact on students' lifelong learning skills.…”

The idea that learning continues throughout life, and cannot be confined to a particular age or place is a fact. This has led to the argument that individuals need to be active agents of their own learning. This has caused learning to be viewed as an individual attainment, with little attention to the role of interpersonal communication in advancing lifelong learning skills. With an attempt to bridge this gap, this paper focused on 205 college students' and five professors' thoughts on the interplay between our communication with others and lifelong learning. Considering their views as well as literature on interpersonal communication and lifelong learning, a thirty-item scale with four sub-domains was developed: learning reciprocity, perseverance, engagement with instructors, and motivation. This scale was then used with a total of ninety-two of first year students on two communication courses in the UAE. Results revealed that the students' scores were above average, indicating their relatively developed predispositions for interpersonal communication supporting lifelong learning. The project-based nature of the courses the students were registered in was thought to influence students' scores. Results are discussed, and recommendations are made for both classroom instruction and future research.

“…The educational system, based on the principles of learning throughout the entire life, is characterized by a series of deep strategic mutations (Demirel, 2009). In fact, lifelong learning is an open system of courses and training activities, addressed to target groups with needs, socio-demographic and professional characteristics that are more and more varied.…”

“…It must meet the challenges of an evolving environment, where information is subject to ongoing impairment. Therefore, it requires a periodic update of the spectrum of information and knowledge (Demirel, 2009). Thus, for example, school teachers, doctors, lawyers or other socio -professional categories must attend regular training courses and accumulate a certain number of professional credits.…”

Abstract:The global contemporary economic and social context, in constant change, makes the learning process undergo constant structural changes with profound implications. These transformations also influence practices, principles and methods used in the field of learning and teaching. The present research is focused on the motivations and expectations of teachers regarding lifelong learning. Their main motivator is to improve teaching tools, techniques and methods. The study population consists of educators who teach the national language and literature (Romanian) to national minorities (Hungarian, German, Roma, Tatar, Serbian, Ukrainian, etc.) and to migrants from various states. The respondents have participated in a lifelong learning program.JEL Classification: I26, I29, M31, M53,

“…To achieve this,, the teacher is required to consider is how to organize learning, convey its contents, organize the interactions between existing academic resources in order to function optimally and achieve set educational goals. [7]. Therefore, learning strategies must be appropriately designed to strengthen students' conceptual knowledge obtained by using the PhET Simulations media and other technological tools.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the results of the application of the PhET Simulations media in understanding light matter while learning physics. The research made use of a randomized pretest and posttest control group design. The population of the study comprises of 67 th grade classes of Serang SMA. The research sample was made up of one experimental and control class each. The obtained results showed that the application of PhET Simulations on light material when learning the light concept in physics produced an N-gain value that is 37% higher than using direct learning techniques. Hence, it can be concluded that the use of phet simulation softwarebased learning media, improves students' conceptual abilities in learning the concept of light material.
