Microlearning and microteaching: prospects of improvement in regions within crosscultural education
Abstract
The research article explores the evolving trends in modern education, which are microlearning and microteaching. The authors analyze microlearning and microteaching as the most progressive and up-to-date approach. This article brings up the role of the globalization in the process of education encompassing crosscultural education. Although micro learning and teaching embrace many demands of modern learning and teaching, the approaches catering to the needs of students from different regions, have not been developed yet. Therefore, the main objective is to demonstrate the opportunities which microlearning offers within crosscultural education. The authors consider theoretical and empirical revie w of the literature and a conceptual framework to be the basic methods. The results obtained can be formulated as follows: a regional model of the micro-learning education (learning and teaching) with a set of specific character traits of students to facilitate the ideas of microeducation has been developed. This article is aimed to discuss the evolvement, current perceptions, basic principles and tools of microteaching and microlearning; to analyze their efficiency in the modern world and to suggest its further development through analysis of cross-culturalism in education using Hoffstede's dimensions including the model for regional program developing within crosscultural education.
