Abstract:
In light of the fact that learning, as a phenomenon, is an electro-chemical process and is rearranging the neuronetworking,
there is no “teaching” as such. We, as education specialists, can only help other human beings to
learn something. Therefore, we should put all our focus and emphasis on “learning”. “Teachers” who were
trained through traditional methods, usually act with the urge of controlling reflex. The traditional understanding
of education and learning, based on reductionist approach where the main focus is on behavioral change, has
been replaced by a totally different approach which is influenced by recent developments over the past fifteen
years in the realm of science and technology. Especially with the help of Functional Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (FMRI), we can now monitor how human brain reacts to different stimulus and how different parts of
human brain function together. With that technology in place, the definition of learning has been radically
changed. The main purpose of this article is to make suggestions to education specialists with regard to their
approach to learners in light of the contemporary educational understanding and in so doing contribute to the
establishment of the profile of new generation of education specialists.
