Abstract | The crisis in education is part of crisis of science and this is one of the dimensions of contemporary culture. The media culture addressed to a large audience through technical means of communication is more and more important. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach (Prensky, 2001). The ‘instant culture’, which main message is ‘carpe diem’, speedy communication and sexualization of life, shapes the identity of young people and their lifestyle (Melosik, 2010). |
