Előadás absztrakt:
In my paper I want to present the results of a one and half year research. In my work I tested the students of the Partium Christian University three times. Today’s students differ greatly from the students of the previous generation. According to the latest studies their attention cannot be captured for more than eight minutes. They cannot sit for the usual fifty minutes and be attentive. They need fast answers and never ending challenges. Their way of thinking differs from our way of thinking. Information is processed in a different way. But how can we teachers deal with these new challenges? Can we capture their attention? How can we develop new skills as to be able to teach them? Are there some techniques that we teachers can learn? The task of my paper is to give an answer to these questions.
