Monad (M): As a University Professor with over 25 years of experience, you had the chance to experience teaching many generations of students as well as witnessing many changes over these years. How did you see the education changing over the 25 years? Nelu(NS)…Ideally,the teacher should feel and understand continuous change. He is the one who is called to be always "NOW" for each generation (series) of students. Teacher is the one who continually must evaluate the elements of change and transform, by communicating knowledge and information, from old into news’s reality, present them in their timelines . “Good teacher” appreciation actually expresses the appreciation of teacher's ability to be always in the same generation with the student. The teacher must always bring the essence of the past updated and presented as present moment's reality, thereby laying the foundations of becoming future. In past years, the educational process actors were surprised by the increase of pace of change, changing social paradigm’s reality, the involvement of completely new revolutionary technologies even in the process. (M) How did the student’s expectations change? As the years passed, students have become increasingly active and involved, managing to express clearly what they want to know, having already the intuition and expectations of what they are looking for. In 1970-1985, the student did not have access to the blackboard, from where knowledge was transmitted. The student had no information accuracy verification alternative than the reading room and this if the library had a vast literature. In 1990-2000 the sources have diversified and become fully accessible, beyond teacher's imagination. For me, as a teacher, the students were the change itself. And not in the sense that they change or abolish the past, but they act through their aspiration and become agents of change, and find their desired path. The teacher must be willing to accommodate with younger generation intuition keeping knowledge dialogue open.
