Autonomy Oriented Education
For the last several years we have been developing a theoretical-methodological framework for implementing Autonomy Oriented Education (AOE) in ICT-based learning contexts. AOE is an educational framework-theory developed by Dr. Aviram and teams working in the CFE from 1994, based on the concept of Autonomy, as conceived by various Humanist thinkers such as J. S. Mill in the 19th century and Rogers, Masslow and later generations of Humanist Psychologists in the 20th and 21st centuries and inspired by Humanistic thinkers such as Goethe, Schiller, Herder and W. V. Humboldt. It incorporates and is validated by state-of-the-art studies, theories and methodologies in cognitive psychology and learning theory and supplemented by a social component, derived from J. S. Mill's concept of liberal-democratic society and C. Popper's notion of Open Society, i.e., the concept of Dialogical Belonging, that embed the individual self-development process in social/communal context. Our challenge is to adopt the theory to the current reality of ICT-based education.
