NEW MEDIA AND THEIR POTENTIAL IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF KEY COMPETENCIES
Abstract
Eligibility to work with the information and using of new media in a meaningful and efficient manner is part of a set of key competencies. These life skills are very important not only for young people, but also for all other groups of actors that are directly or indirectly involved in education and training. The dynamic development of the Internet and new technologies, as well as the time and expert complexity of the teaching profession, mean that teachers are not always able to keep up with their students. This applies particularly to user skills and dealing with new media platforms and services. These facts are one of the reasons why teachers need to get a better view of confidence and appropriate professional skills related to the use of new media. Diverse media platforms and user applications can be used for entertainment as well as for educational purposes. Potential of new media can be applied to the development of key competencies, values education, work on improving interpersonal relations and other opportunities that come with these new ways of learning and teaching. The paper deals with the possibilities of intensive development of information and media competencies in the post-millennium age. These new media skills can help to ensure that the enormous potential and capacity of global information society has been used effectively in the context of educational processes.
