Challenges of the Current Contemporary Culture to Institutions of Personalized Eduation

Abstract

This essay is a proposal to vitalize educational institutions inspired by the personalized education model. Two main aspects that make up contemporary culture are pointed out: amusement and success. Both dimensions are not sufficient to express the fullness of human person. Hence, it intends to reach a culture of encounter and a culture of excellence. The encounter recalls a pedagogy of awe that gives depth to amusement and also calls for the pedagogy of the promise which is what makes an instant last. On the other hand, success needs eagerness to serve and reaches its fullness with the pedagogy of empowerment and the pedagogy of gift.
