Summary/Abstract: By describing the shift from the so-called "golden age of school" and the "golden age of education" to the "golden age of learning", the author claims that the contemporary changes in education which stress learning, are the outcomes of three factors: globalization, post-modern changes in science, and the policies and programs of international organizations and NGOs. Focusing her interest on globalization defined as a series of inter-related changes leading to establishing the world as a whole, she uses critical analysis to show that educational changes may be explained by an impact of four globalization trends: a) globalization as a process of economic integration, b) globalization as a process of democratic integration, c) globalization as a process of moral integration, and d) globalization as a basis for global processes of differentiation.
