Istoric al teoriilor proiectării procesului de instruire . Lucrările lui Darwin (Originea Omului ,1871) şi ale lui William James (Principiile Psihologiei ,1890) au inspirat un mare număr de cercetători , inclusiv pe Thorndike . Această perioadă a fost dominată de o modificare fundamentală în modul de gândire despre educaţie care a fost susţinută de apariţia investigărilor ştiinţifice asupra modului în care învaţă omul şi animalele . Până la acest moment , instruirea a fost dominată de idea că mintea , întocmai ca şi trupul , poate fi dezvoltată prin exerciţii ("minte sănătoasă în corp sănătos "). Se credea că studierea şi cunoaşterea unor anumite discipline ştiinţifice ar putea revigora şi dezvolta inteligenţa în aceeaşi manieră în care educaţia fizică dezvoltă anumiţi muşchi . Una din personalităţile care au contribuit esenţial la transformarea educaţiei dintr-o disciplină empirică într-o ştiinţă a fost E.L. Thorndike , profesor de psihologia educaţiei de la Universitatea Columbia . Thorndike a introdus evaluările proceselor educaţionale . Perioadă influenţată de lucrarea intitulată Eficienţa Socială a lui Franklin Bobbitt (1918). Această perioadă a fost dominată de satisfacerea nevoilor societăţii şi a efectelor acestor necesităţi sociale de către obiectivele instruirii . Au fost concepute Planuri pentru o Instruire Individualizată care permit studenţilor să înveţe (progreseze) în ritmul propriu beneficiind de o direcţionare ( îndrumare , ghidare) minimă din partea profesorului . Aceste planuri includ obiective de învăţare iniţial specificate , ritm propriu de studiu , control asupra învăţării , şi alte forme posibile de studiu individualizat . Aceste planuri au contribuit la dezvoltarea proiectării instruirii , proces care este în opoziţie cu instruirea tradiţională . Au fost introduse Studierea pe bază de Contract şi Controlul Procesului de Învăţare , dezvoltându-se analiza cunoştinţelor caracteristice unei anumite profesii (slujbe) şi analiza activităţilor desfăşurate de un angajat . Studiul pe bază de Contract îşi are originea în planurile de instruire individualizate din anii 1920 . Controlul învăţării a fost exemplificat pentru prima dată în anii 1920 în cadrul planurilor de instruire individuală (individualizate) . Pentru a putea trece la următoarea etapă a instruirii , studentul trebuie să cunoască conţinutul materialelor prezentate în etapa pe care o parcurge . Conceptul de cunoaştere (sau de stăpânire) a subiectului este pus în practică cu ajutorul specificării obiectivelor procesului de instruire şi cu ajutorul evaluării şi atestării (sau îndeplinirii) acestor obiective . Sidney Pressey a creat o maşină care să furnizeze exerciţii practice studenţilor . Această perioadă a fost influenţată de Marea Criză economică care a afectat educaţia reducând fondurile alocate instruirii . A fost introdusă Educaţia Graduală (etapizată) . Această perioadă este caracterizată de un progres lent al evoluţiei către dezvoltarea procesului de instruire . Adrian A. Adăscăliţei : Contribuţii la perfecţionarea sistemelor moderne multimedia în procesul didactic de asimilare a cunoştinţelor din domeniul disciplinei de bazele electrotehnicii 13 Planul de Studiu de 8 ani introdus de Ralph Tyler a fost o piatră de hotar specificând obiectivele generale ale educaţiei . În funcţie de aceste obiective generale au fost concepute obiectivele comportamentale . A fost recunoscută Evaluarea Formativă . Această perioadă a fost dominată de necesitatea instruirii cadrelor militare . Al II-lea Război Mondial a creat o dificilă problemă de instruire : mii de noi recruţi trebuiau instruiţi repede în condiţiile în care complexitatea noilor arme cereau un nivel de control uman fără precedent .

Elearning inter-university network of Moldova uses a virtual learning environment for training and learning process improvement dedicated to engineering students. The article presents some methodological elements that contributed to the success of TEMPUS CRUNT Project. Several web courses, based on Blended Learning methodology are highlighted. This paper presents elearning instruction materials for engineering undergraduates developed on the Virtual Learning Environment http://elearning.utm.md/moodle/login/index.php/. Processes of: design, development and implementation of interactive educational modules are presented, for the topic of electrical engineering and technology. Elearning modules provide student with information examples containing rich multimedia elements: text, glossary, webography, bibliography , knowledge and skills assimilation assessment. The modules are divided into a number of teaching and learning units which can be studied autonomously (or independent). Electrical Engineering and Technology (EET) Discipline model is a new approach to learning electrical technology-one that presents concepts in the customary logically developed order but illustrates them with exemplars that reflect the applications students are interested in. Electrical Engineering Discipline resources are especially for secondary school teachers and students, with topics ranging from introductory to advanced Electrical Engineering and Technology. Teachers will find reliable and quality resources including videos, articles, demonstrations, worksheets, assessments and activities all in one location. Resources are searchable by topic and standards. eLearning Modules are using visualization of electrical engineering concepts. These principles focus on a few specific pedagogical pointers: 1. providing multiple representations and descriptions, 2. making linked referential connections visible, 3. presenting the dynamic and interactive nature of electrical engineering, 4. promoting the transformation between 2D and 3D, and 5. reducing cognitive load by making information explicit and integrating information for students.

OER (Open Educational Resources) and MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are discussed. Experimental engineering skills and abilities can be developed by using remote labs and simulations. The development of critical thinking of engineer students takes place while students work with virtual resources, and students need to understand what kind of results they get for each experiment. Even if it addresses the same problems-by differentiating the simulation laboratories-it focuses on another field: not the ability to do this, but how you can do it. Online laboratories are also fundamental to the experiments the student performs in the individual study because they are specially designed for distance students who need to gain an introductory knowledge and familiarity with real-life phenomena. The instructional design model is based on the ADDIE model, which includes the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. VLEs are used to make online interactions between Students and Teachers. Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is known as an online course management system (CMS). Learning Process and Content Management Systems (LCMS), in this case, Moodle (an open source software platform for e-learning), provides instructors with the tools to create e-learning or Blended Teaching and Learning (BTL) course. The article provides resources and information to help educators, administrators, and decision-makers better apply ITC in Engineering Education (EE) programs. The resources were analyzed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (“Gh. Asachi” Technical University from Iaşi, Romania) with extensive experience in integrating ICT (information and communication technology) in the training programs of engineering teachers.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) "I am for new things, but, more, than the things that are new today , I appreciate the things that will be new starting tomorrow." Grigore C. Moisil (1906-1973) CONTENT 1. The need for computer and concepts 2. Development of sciences and evolution of university courses 3. Grigore Moisil, the father of Romanian Informatics 4. Grigore Moisil's vision on learning The need for computer was not the dream of a scientist or an inventor, was the medium (product) that are combined and used a variety of effective solutions offered by science and technology to solve practical problems that faced in the period 1940-1960 the powerful nations of the world: USA, USSR and UK. The main issues that were major and urgent even were military-defense and conquest of outer space, the last issue is still a major problem for defense. Factors that influenced the conception, design and development of computer systems are all factors scientific, technological, social, cultural, economic, political, military, etc. At the level of individuals in a society, it can be said that the destiny and their lives are influenced by the factors outlined above. Factors that influenced the conception, design and development of computer systems are all factors scientific, technological, social, cultural, economic, political, military, etc. Un example would be October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite in outer space ( 83.6 kg), Earth's first artificial satellite, when US leaders were concerned about a Soviet first strike could be a preemptive strike; It was when the US Department of Defense Military began several research projects; Consequently, on 31 January 1958 was launched Explorer 1 (14 kg), the first artificial satellite launched by the US, Soviet satellites being third after Sputnik 1 and 2 . At the level of individuals of a society, we can say that destiny and their lives are influenced by the factors mentioned above. No need to come up with arguments or examples, simple study of biographies of scientists, art, etc., who lived in different periods of history will be enlightening for anyone. About Grigore C. Moisil: He was a member of the Romanian Academy, of the Academy of Bologna, and of the International Institute of Philosophy. Moisil was a professor of mathematical logic and computer science at the University of Bucharest, and taught in various universities in Europe and America. His early contributions were in mathematics and later he devoted his scientific activity to mathematical logic and computer science. He pioneered the application of mathematical logic to computer science. In the 1950s, Prof. Moisil developed a new structural theory of finite automata and proposed what he called "the trivalent Lukaszewiczian algebra applied to the logic of switching circuits", an important contribution to the development of computer science in those early years. Some of his books were translated in several languages. At a time when cybernetics was thought of as "reactionary bourgeois science directed against working class" Prof. Moisil used his scientific authority to personally encourage the Romanian scientists to build the first computer, that appeared in 1957. (Excerpts from the biography produced by the IEEE Computer Society, who "is proud to recognize Grigore C. Moisil as a Computer Pioneer" in 1996)

The paper is concerned with the determination of the minimum voltage Vmi n to sustain ferroresonance. An exact expression for Vmin cannot be derived owing to the transcendental character of the steady-state equations. By writing equations in an intermediate linear form, the determination of exact values for Ymi n is substantially simplified. Based on the linear form, the authors also obtain expressions providing almost exact and approximate values for Vm~ .. As an application the authors find exact, almost exact, and approximate values for the capacitance (i.e. the cable length) beyond which ferroresonance can be expected.

It is known the fact that nowadays e-learning is the key instrument to make learning international, and the development e-learning media quality has become a strategic objective for the modern provider for education and training. The present article deals with the problem of ensuring the quality for the e-learning resources and proceses for the students that use the Moodle platform in Romania making use of the ELQ model for quality assessment of e-learning in higher education. The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate the importance of a correct understanding of the process of ensuring the quality within the e-learning media for students, as well as the necessity to generate trust in satisfying the quality requirements for the interactive training in the e-learning system. After reviewing the existing literature, particularly focusing on QA frameworks, models and procedures, one used the base semi structured interview enquiry and content analysis. The paper submits to analysing some experts' opinions on e-learning, pedagogues and practitioners concerning the quality of the training process of students in the e-learning system, but also some students' perceptions concerning their degree of satisfaction of these in rapport with the e-learning services that are offered. Qualitative and quantitative findings have been presented. The findings support the flexibility and relevance of ELQ as an e-learning assessment model. The present paper brings light on some concrete aspects of the quality ensuring process of the e-learning content and services for students that need permanent improvement and that makes all the people involved responsible and creates the premises for the development of an e-learning culture.

This method of learning is for students who do not want to miss out on the traditional classroom experience, but want the flexibility essential with online learning. All blended courses will meet the first day of class and at least three other face-to-face meetings. Textile chemistry can generally be divided into three major areas: dyeing and finishing chemistry, fiber and polymer chemistry, and a newer area that intersects with materials science and involves the blending of textile materials. Online e-learning has also undergone a revolution wherein virtually all universities have provided courses that can be taken asynchronously, anywhere and at anytime. Tools and technologies have rapidly evolved to transform the conventional sequential unidirectional methods into collaborative omni directional learning environments. Piaget's theory of cognitive development stated that "the learner must be active; he is not a vessel to be filled with facts. Learning involves the participation of the learner". eBooks and new collaborative learning software allows us to create materials and an environment that allow students to explore and independently navigate tendrils of interconnecting concepts that will empower and enhance their construction of a more cohesive understanding of interconnected facets of a discipline. Students are rarely prompted to construct explanations of scientific phenomena for themselves. In many undergraduate courses, students spend a great deal of time either passively listening to lecturers' explanations or reading explanations from textbooks. Moreover, textbook explanations are often presented succinctly and in rapid succession, as if the material is straightforward and requires nothing more than memorization. Classroom activities that facilitate students generating their own explanations (i.e., developing and deploying explanatory knowledge) can therefore be powerful conceptual teaching and learning tools. Active learning strategies such as cooperative learning groups, guided inquiry, and peer-led team learning demonstrate progress toward student production of explanations in the undergraduate chemistry classroom. This paper presents the design principles and implementation of interactive training modules from chemical textile engineering curricula performed on " http://www.moodle.tex.tuiasi.ro/" elearning platform. Modules can be used also in traditional didactic activity: course lectures, laboratory, seminar and / or design classes. Interactive simulations allow learning of: knowledge, skills and abilities, necessary to engineering students in their future professional activity. Elearning modules aimed mainly effective interaction between student and content. Interactive graphical interface helps the student to understand quickly and accurately the issues of the course content and enables simulation of real industrial processes.

Asachi" Iasi, Romania [email protected] The philosophy of benchmarking makes reference to the learning process within an organization that studies the practices and methods used by the successful organizations that reach performance. Benchmarking represents an instrument for the total management of quality and a continuous process of monitoring good practices within a similar organization that is successful. Concerning the level of involvement in the benchmarking process, the one-to-one approach as well as the collaborative one is considered valuable for the systematic collecting and comparison of data and in the following steps of the process. The organizational homogeneity and cooperation are necessary conditions for a collaborative benchmarking exercise. The present paper presents the analytical conceptual frame of a study for the benchmarking for the improvement of the electronic counselling service for students in Pitesti. The benchmarking exercises use the EFQM model in three steps: adoption, adaptation and improvement. Findings and conclusions were formulated following a focus group in which 4 experts in counselling provided to students and 4 e-learning experts. They analysed the advantages and limits of using electronic counselling services for students form 4 major Romanian University centres: Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj and Timisoara. Benchmarking was used as a method to collect and report essential operational data in a way that allows relevant comparisons among the performances of some distance counselling services offered to students in Romania, with the aim to identify good practices, advantages and limitations, as well as to improve the counselling activity for students in Pitesti. The present paper creates the premises for the initiation of a future project to start a psycho-pedagogical e-counselling network in order to connect the participant University centres to the present study and at which others can become part of.
