Motivation for the Younger Generations Through Information and Communication Technology

Abstract

This paper deals with a challenge for the information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective is to provide the target groups (children/young people, students, and PhD students) motivation, and opportunities to pursue careers in information and communication technology. Amongst specific objectives are: to enhance the promotion of research and technological achievements in this domain, among target groups; closing the gap in education programs used by schools and universities, related to information and communication science, by creating appropriate content (video lectures, on-line lectures) and implementation of information (competitions, summer schools, workshops); providing opportunities for pupil and student to develop their motivated ideas in science and information and communication technology; creation of courses on web platforms that integrate effectively promotion of research, achievements, results dissemination and efficient sharing of resources with online education target groups. This paper presents how to teach, using the web, the components of an e-learning course website, and the structure of the instructional process. These learning environments will improve student performance in ICT courses offered at Technical University of Moldova (“TUM”). Our web-based instructional methodology focuses on teaching the systematic problem-solving skill. The development of courseware materials for student engineers in Republic of Moldova will have an increasing impact on the national scene of engineering education.
