The Heuristic Approach from the Perspective of Student-Centred Learning
The Heuristic Approach from the Perspective of Student-Centred Learning

Summary/Abstract: The rapid evolution of modern society compels changes in each person’s objectives and fundamental needs. It is therefore critical to efficiently anticipate the professional behaviors and profiles best equipped to adjust easily to an ever-changing future. From this perspective, the formation of the future generation gains new dimensions, and education must shift its focus. Student-centred learning has become the goal of the current educational mindset, perfectly integrated in the European environment. In this model, the student becomes the leading actor in his/her own evolution, and is given the responsibility of his/her progress. The heuristic approach gains a well-deserved role in an instruction process specific to our times, and it identifies with methods such as problem-based learning and discovery. This approach offers new perspectives on the development of competences, which are understood as an operating mode which employs knowledge, skills and abilities, but also builds attitudes towards knowledge and life.
