Conferinta Anuala Fischer International se desfasoara anul acesta in perioada 1-2 septembrie 2023, la hotelul Radisson Blu din Bucuresti.

In a recent discussion with a fellow teacher from university, we have found out that having no entrance examination for university level has taken its toll on higher education. She was saying that the new students need a year just to adjust to the higher level of studying. All this made us wonder whether we are right giving up the only examination, which was meant to better select among students, to make sure that only the talented ones in that field are accepted.

This has always been a battle between memory and intelligence. To start with, rote learning is defined as the memorization of information based on repetition. While newer techniques like associative learning, meta cognition and critical thinking are preferred, teachers tend to leave rote learning behind, forgetting that it is actually a functional foundation to higher levels of learning.

When the debate whether to have End of School Year festivities started being discussed in the media, everybody had an opinion, online, on TV, on the radio, in our circle of friends.

Conferinta anuala Fischer International, ajunsa la cea de-a 14 editie, este un eveniment asteptat an de an, cu mult entuziasm, de comunitatea profesorilor din Romania.
