- Abstract
One of the essential functions of the current education is represented by the enlightenment, and this function was subsequently completed by a perspective that focused on the cultural exchanges. The new educations refer to cultural and intercultural educations, which are components that can be addressed from the preschool age, to children, till youth, adulthood or old age as processes integrated in the lifelong training, but youth or the academic studies period is considered as the age that it can exploit the full learning potential of the individual. The cultural and intercultural education relates to other aspects of the education: axiological education, civic education, human rights education, education for democracy, political education, social education, European citizenship education, entrepreneurship education, moral education, religious education, education for tolerance and so on. The specific of the learning means that it depends on the field of the study and the accessibility of learning content, but there are also involved a number of individual features of the learner, the transfer, exercise and training strategies, moral, professional and pedagogical competencies of teacher, the quality of academic life, the systemic nature of the educational process, socio-cultural influences exerted from the outside. Learning Pedagogy, as a trans-disciplinary science, contributes to develop scientific competencies of students: the capacity to recognize the essential features of the studied phenomena, the capacity to communicate the reasoning used and conclusions reached, attitudes, values and appropriate behaviors in social interactions. The prospective teachers apply in their teaching activity a key competence proposed to the European level and represented by the cultural awareness and expression. This is understood as an appreciation of the importance of the cultural expression of ideas, experiences and emotions of others through a number of channels (music, theater, literature and visual arts). For a future teacher, interculturalism requires keeping a balance so that its behaviors allow openness to other cultures without losing its cultural identity.
