Present changes in learning processes of young students

We usually stress the fact that changes have a strong impact on present times, but we are rarely informed about the real, deep, daily, concrete impact that changes have on lifestyles, on thinking styles and their concerned processes, on learning styles and their concerned processes. Among the different changes, at least the present compression of time and space, the presence of technological tools and the change of the perception of virtuality are able to produce a significant and deep impact on the learning and cognitive strategies of younger generations. Teachers, professors, educators, trainers have the professional and ethical duty to update their competences and skills. Future educational opportunities either will highly depend on new methodological and didactical approaches or will be meaningless and will reduce the role of adult generations to the one of pure spectators. Future educational opportunities highly depend on new educational categories, on new didactical aims; all of them must be coherent with the younger generations’ learning needs and with the impact that changes produce on their right to education, on their right to participate to their contexts, on their aims at achieving competences and skills coherent with the answers that their present will ask them to give.
