TEORIJSKA RAZMATRANJA ELEKTRONSKOG UČENJA U SAVREMENOM OBRAZOVANJU

Abstract

The scientific and technological revolution has made radical changes in all social and scientific systems, especially in pedagogical science. Technical and digital devices, as well as modern information and communication technology (ICT), have become an integral part of the teaching process and they represent an imperative of contemporary education. As a consequence of the mentioned informatization of the educational process, the idea of an innovative type of learning was created: e-learning which represents a way of acquiring knowledge and skills with the help and through educational and information and communication technology. The paper aims to study and to perform a theoretical analysis of the concept of e-learning in modern education. The paper gives a review of the concept of e-learning, as well as an analysis of the basic types or modalities, advantages and disadvantages of this type of learning. The occurrence of e-learning has enabled the transition from the process of reproduction to the process of building and upgrading the necessary knowledge and skills, thus overcoming the limits of tradicional teaching and realizing the ideas of active and lifelong learning. The student takes a central and key role in teaching, where teaching contents are presented in a creative and interactive way through modern technology and where the student acquires necessary competencies for living and working in modern society. The significance and implications of the conducted theoretical research are reflected in emphasizing the importance of the existence of e-learning modalities in teaching practice, which creates the prerequisites for quality and contemporary education. Elearning represents the future of pedagogical science and it is important to work on further popularization and research of this educational phenomenon.
