IN-PERSON Prague Research & Teaching Conference

Abstract

This presentation is focused on highlighting the most important tendencies in teaching today in the context of increasing cultural diversity and social integration of groups which represent various cultural difference in a non-ethnic manner. This issue is being covered by the relatively new discipline ie. anthropology of education. This subdiscipline requires today a new approach in the context of learning strategies and tools, especially represented by the generation Z’s digital skills. The eduactional challanges brought recently by AI technology and unpredicatable directions of its development, we must look at the relation between culture and learning from the anthropological perspective. This presentation presents key areas in which these challenges occur and sheds some light on the possible solutions. The selected contemporary cultural dynamics exemplify the need for a more flexible approach if we want to construct a more effective education of the future. Therefore the presentation attempts also to define the most significant directions modern schooling systems must follow in order to achieve this goal not just on a local, but also predominantly on a global level.
