1. Motivations and Studies
 Society can not develop
without education and
knowledge.
 Learning is necessary for
education and knowledge.
 Country governments must
invest in education and
research.
MOTTOS
 "Learning is evolution of
knowledge over time." Roger
E. Bohn
 "The most powerful explosive
is toluene, no atomic bomb,
but the idea man." Grigore C.
Moisil
 "The best way to predict the
future is to create it.“ Peter
Drucker
 "Seek knowledge through
experimentation, observation
and hypothesis testing."
Sir Francis Bacon.
“Nothing costs more expensive than ignorance.” Grigore C. Moisil (1906-1973)
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its
owner everywhere." Chinese Proverb

Complexity of learning
 De-a lungul vremii, in toate domeniile stiintifice se
schimba teoriile, metodele si tehnicile de investigare, de
aceea cunoasterea umane influenteaza dezvoltarea
generala a societatii umane. Pentru a obtine evolutie si
eficienta in viata sa, omul trebuie sa se adapteze
continuu la aceste schimbari ale cunoasterii.
 In domeniul educatiei, si in special al invatarii si
perfectionarii, aparitia de noi tehnologii ale informatiei si
comunicarii (TIC), imbunatatirea teoriilor pedagogice si
psihologice, obliga pe elevi si studenti, pe profesori si
parinti, pe specialisti, sa se adapteze la aceste
schimbari.
 Ce fac elevii si studentii? Ce fac profesorii si
parintii? Ce fac specialistii? Ce fac guvernele
tarilor?
"To learn is to change. Education is a process that changes the learner." George B. Leonard
