From an epistemological perspective the scientific research in the area of education sciences has some specific characte¬ristics we would like to emphasize in this article, in a synthetic approach. One of the purposes considered is to briefly present some of the most recurrent forms of knowledge in the field of education, namely: reflexive, material, taxonomic, experimental and statistical knowledge. We will emphasise the specificity of each approach and we will insist on the forms encountered in the education sciences unlike the ones belonging to other fields of human knowledge. Approaching the sources of knowledge is an action specific of the education epistemology by which we intend to analyse the historical evolution of these problems within the education sciences. The perspective we propose combines the forms of scientific knowledge and the sources of such knowledge, providing a synthetic picture of the various forms and sources of knowledge, as a foundation of research and investigations in the epistemic field of education. The perspective proposed in this article starts from the premise that the ontological assumptions (concerning the nature of reality and the nature of things, of the realities subject to scientific investi¬ga¬tion) give rise to epistemological assum¬ptions – within the meaning of types of research and investigation of the nature of reality and nature of things. The latter, at their turn, lead to considerations about methodology and the investigation, analysis and collection of the data about these realities. The field of axiology in education is closely connected to ontology and episte¬mology. Such perspective on the reality investigated by science (by the research specific of education sciences) helps us to understand the research methods as a way of understanding the world, the actual educational reality investigated by research and that originates from several sources. These sources are the raw material that underlies knowledge and scientific research.

The title of this article is not a random combination of words, it is the materialization of an idea that rules over current pedagogy. The title, perhaps less obvious at first glance, requires us, to facilitate his acceptance, explanatory disclose formulated thought. Currently, scientific crossing of the functionality in pedagogy, in seeking its applied essence, gene¬rates a vision that includes as much of the space phenomenon. That is why the epistemology comes with some recom¬men¬dations for medium term inventory analysis, judging average "levels" of functionality.

The academic environment appears as a complex system of social groups, including student groups, characterized by shared norms and values, social roles and positions, an entire network of interactions and reciprocal influences. Yet, unlike the pupil groups, little scholarly attention has been paid to student groups as a medium for training and development, their configuration, processes and dynamics, the social influences and pressures exercised by the group on the members being remarkably understudied. The need to learn more about the psychosocial aspects of the student group processes derives from the fact that the group may act as a positive force field (inducing cooperation, solidarity and mutual support) but also as a negative one (intragroup conflicts, lack of competition, peer issues), impacting significantly on the learning processes and social-affective climate of the group. Therefore, a complex and elaborate study on the functioning of these groups will provide premises for a better understanding of the potential group implications on the personality of the student. In this article, we intend to analyze only one of these – the role of student groups in the professional development, namely, student opinions and perceptions with reference to this issue.

Through their traditional lifestyle, Arabs perform se¬veral behaviors that aim to maintain the environment. Today, few young people are still clinging to the traditional life¬style but there are behaviors which are related to the environment still exist even today in the modern lifestyle. But in spite of that, Arabs are not considered as people with good environmental awareness. There are many environmental prob¬lems in the Arab sector, especially in Arab villages. Many researches have shown that there is a big difference bet¬ween the Arab and Jewish sectors in terms of environmental awareness, environmental attitudes and a willingness to act for the environment. Schools and teachers, who are exposed to environmental issues in the Arab sector, are very few.

Personal development is seen as a process of choice – Gla¬ser (1998). Each person sets own priorities and has the power to change lives for the better, as a result of the choices they made. One person can make the right choices and to take greater responsibility for their actions. Personal de¬ve¬lop¬ment is a trend towards happiness.

The world believes today in the importance of education and aspires to supply a good education. The question is in what way? For achieving the purpose, a significant change is required rather than another temporary solution. This type of change might reduce the number of matriculation exams and the number of studied subjects, and on the other hand, in¬clusion of humanistic, scientific and artistic subjects. Such teaching emphasizes – the structuration of knowledge by the studier under supervision and control, a combination between personal and mutual learning, alternative evaluation that emphasizes the inclusion of a pupil in the various stages of the process and includes his self-evaluation and the eva¬lu¬ation of his peers in class. The comparative analysis of study programs in Israel, United Kingdom and Finland offers opportunities to examine va¬rious models of studying according to the needs of the 21st century. Following the conclusions in Israel and European countries, a new test is under consideration that would be in¬ter¬ac¬tive, conducted by means of a computer, would call for reasons and explanations and maintain interaction and debate with the pupils. In the Pisa test of 2012, exercises in solving problems and economic literacy will be added to the tra¬di¬ti¬o¬nal tests that demonstrate dealing with routine dilemmas in the field of finances, solving problems as a team – exa¬mi¬na¬tion of skills of the 21st century [1].

The modernization of education requires the implementation of technologies that would create real conditions for independent cognitive activity of pupils. One of the most effective technologies that forms and develops cognitive skills is the modular education. Technology is an activity, which maximally reflects the objective laws of the discipline of study and ensures the best correspondence between the results and the set goals for the given conditions. The structure of the national curriculum in physics is based on the principles of integrated-modular education technology; it means the study of the objective content in large blocks. This structure requires the development of modules in the activity of teachers, in other words the central moments of topics which combine operational objectives, content, technology of goals achievement and "feedback". The main feature of the module is the technology of mastering of the educational content, which allows organizing an independent cognitive activity of each learner. The application of modular technology changes the functions such as of pupils as well as of teachers. The student independently masters content through certain activities, the teacher accompanies the learners in achieving the goals.

This article describes the main aspects of the worldview of Niccolo Machiavelli – one of the biggest thinkers of the Re¬naissance. Machiavelli's doctrine is based on a deep knowledge of social and psychological patterns of human be¬ha¬vior. Historically Machiavelli is shown as a keen cynic, who believed that the basis of political behavior is profit or power, and that policy should be based on force, not on the morality, which can be neglected for a good purpose. Machiavellianism is understood as a political activity, which does not neglect any ways to achieve the goal, and is based on the belief that in communication with others you not only can, but need to manipulate, and manipulation is not just some¬thing natural, but also it is the most effective way of interaction. In this article, however, is explained the thesis about pro¬found psychological realism of Italian thinker doctrine and, in particular, his following fundamental thesis that nature has created people so, that they may want anything; between two poles - the desired and actual - there is a dangerous voltage (dissatisfaction), which can fracture the human being, and make him envious, greedy or in¬si¬dious. Machiavelli - one of the few figures of the Renaissance, who in his writings raised the question about the role of the leader’s personality. He believed, basing on the realities of his day Italy, which suffered from feudal fragmentation, that it is better to have strong prince at the head of the unified sovereign country, even if he has no remorse; than com¬pe¬ting specific rulers. Machiavelli in his writings on the place of religious dogmas placed the man. According to him, all the processes which are taking place in the society and, consequently, in the country as its main political institution, are determined by the human nature (instincts), or the human mind. Moreover, Machiavelli indicated the presence of certain dependence between the social structure of society and form of government. Machiavelli set the ancient valor against Christian humility. The last he considered something evil, that makes the world become weak and give it to the power of unopposed villains. Thus, Machiavelli gave a psy¬cho¬lo¬gi¬cally reasoned response to the question of relationship between moral norms and political expediency. However, it should be noted, that Machiavelli wasn’t the first who spoke about the social contradictions as one of the main element of society. Before him, it was indicated by Plato and Aristotle, but he was the first of European non-ancient thinkers who attempted to link the processes taking place both in the society and its political system.
