THE KNOWLEDGE TRIANGLE AND THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF KEY COMPETENCES IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The knowledge triangle concept refers to necessity to improve the impact of investments in terms of the three activities — education, research and innovation. The effectiveness of the activities implemented in the knowledge triangle is a process based on the recognized need for cooperation between all interested parties. The process of awareness itself is slow and implies changes - in thinking, in organization and administration, in inclusion and participation in various activities - project, qualification, scientific, etc. In this context, we can talk about a practical realization of the concept of the triangle of knowledge. Modern education is oriented towards digitization and related methods and means, because the students who are educated today are representatives of the so-called "alpha" generation. a generation that grows and develops in the conditions of Internet communications, social networks and artificial intelligence. The representatives of the "alpha" generation seek information and learn in a different way compared to previous generations. In this sense, the Bulgarian school should become closer to the children's natural environment through the wider application of various educational models in training. And everything said so far is related to the role of the teacher.
