Abstract

A learner-centered learning process combines the concepts of competence directed curriculum design and constructivism based learning process design. We define general competences(critical reflection, creativity, research attitude) and course domain specific ones (content topics). Constructivism learning theory means active construction of new knowledge based on learner´s prior experience. We defined general, collaborative and assessment design elements. A Model for the development of the learning process has been built. Attention goes to the blended ICT based model.
