RECONCEPTUALIZAREA ÎNVĂŢĂMÎNTULUI SUPERIOR ÎN SECOLUL AL XX-LEA

Abstract

The 20th century can be justly considered as the new era in the field of higher education, as the starting point of an entire process of reformation and reorientation of university values and principles. The three European initiatives: “Humboldt University”, “French University” and “civic university” have triggered significant changes in the core of an institution of higher education, which, together with the “American University” have launched the entire system of higher education towards a new era of modernization. This article tackles the problems and milestones encountered by the universities in the 20th centuries in their endeavor of setting themselves as the pillar for the development of society in an era of constant change and adaptation.
