The research methodology approached is based on questionnaires distributed to teachers and students in two representative samples: schools with poor results in national and international assessments and schools with good results. The research results were developed from the analysis of mathematical statistics, in order to study the mechanisms of inter-and transdisciplinary curriculum implementation. As a novelty element, the research supports the new educational policy that aimed at increasing the adaptability of next generations to labour market of modern contemporary society.

The aim of this research is to prove the implementation of new technologies in teaching/ learning physics as didactical tools. This may be a reference framework for rethinking school curriculum, teacher training and student-centered educational process.

Abandonment of formal education is met frequently among children from poor or disorganized families and these youngsters become usually subjects to be recruited by the organized crime. Costs for recovery and isolation are important and correlate to a significant budgetary effort. This article presents possible solutions: improving the public education and training to meet specific individual and collective security; development of a sustainable society; resumption of instruction, education and training for all individuals to stability and security of their families; mandatory recovery of those who have abandoned one of several forms of general education. Expectations are: elimination of illiteracy, reducing crime, building a prosperous society, ability to pay the foreign debts.

including e-learning. Europe-wide ‘eLearning’ initiative promotes new online ways of learning throughout the EU. In recent years, many studies have highlighted an alarming
decline in young people’s interest for key science studies. Digital technologies can help improve the quality of knowledge and life for everybody and information and communication
technologies (ICTs) have become ‘enabling technologies’ in school too. Physics laboratory has been for a long time now an important part of school physics education. Lately, the technique and technologies devices have know an explosive development and pupils, students are fascinated by this. In this context, the audio - video tools have an important impact for the teaching - learning process of Physics. The Computer Assisted Instruction stimulates the visual and hearing memory and transposes the students in the midst of the Phenomena. In
first parts, I explained why it is important to use simulated experiments, graphics on computer, and which impact is to use the modern tools. In next step, I propose a Lesson Plan and I illustrated how the teacher can integrate audio - video tools on instruction in diverse stages of learning unit. I have corroborated the real experiments with simulation in real times of the experiments. This way of teaching complete the knowledge of students and make the lesson more attractive

Politicians at European level have recognized that education and training are essential to the development and success of knowledge society. A transdisciplinary vision of education requires long life education and the computer revolution

The role and contribution of Multimedia (MM) to teaching/ learning of specific physics topics and integrated MM activities in school work, in home-work and in distance learning it is most important. In firs parts, we explained why important to use MM, and I presented the modern tools and classified it. In succeed step, we propose a Delineate of the lesson plan and we are illustrated how the teacher can by integrated audio – video tools on instruction in diverse stage of unit by learn.

In the means used, it can remember knowledge tests performed in accordance with the cybernetic-scheme of learning process: INPUT-budget, the material bases, characteristics of students / teachers, social context, energy; PROCESS (all processes) - methodology, teachers' style, educational strategies, activities that influences the students; OUTPUT - students, acquisitions and operational information, skills acquired (knowledge, skills, aptitudes), energy consumption, teaching staff/ non-teaching staff with experience enriched but elderly, dynamic society. Assessment can be achieved through assessment tests: initial, continuously or final. To remove some subjective evaluation errors, loaded by the human factor, the present paper presents an online platform "Quizlet: Learning tools & flashcard". Advantages of “Quizlet” platform are to harness the knowledge, to allow anyone to learn through play. Computer games are the most powerful learning tool.

Teaching design is a specific teacher activity and consumes a long time after school, on home. In school are two modalities for using computer: as work tools for student or for teacher (presenting the information as text documents, posters, graphic representations, video, experiment modelling, pictures, calculator, tables; achievement and use of data bases, in laboratory experiments for realization, simulating or completing of the experiments). On the other hands, as didactical tools: direct mode - computer acting as support for teaching (educational softs, Computer Assisted Instruction); indirect mode - computer controlling and planning the training, thus taking over the duties of the teacher.(Computer Managed Instruction). In the paper is presented how the computer helps and assists the teacher through an online platform. Learning Design is a platform that makes available a suite of tools that eases didactically design. Advantage of this is that teacher can summarize the lesson plan, insert various resources, has a map of the time, of the unit of learning and of learning aims.
