As we move through the age of technological developments, it is clear that significant changes have taken place in the education system. The changes include new modern teaching methods, renewed curricula, new adapted learning styles, all based on the new needs of the educational community. The aim of this paper is to explore modern pedagogical approaches to teaching in terms of their integration into education policies. The current education system, with a focus on the student, makes an effort to develop equality among students, highlight diversity in a classroom and protect student diversity. The most basic condition for achieving the above is the familiarity of the educators with the modern pedagogical approaches. The better the application and utilization, the more the students' critical and creative thinking is enhanced, resulting in positive performance, better performances and the creation of a friendly atmosphere in the classroom. The contribution of pedagogical approaches to the creation of strong learning environments highlights a new, modern and innovative dimension in the way the educational process develops, without degrading the social and pedagogical role of learning. Modern teaching approaches consider the appropriation of knowledge in school as a process for the formation and reconstruction of knowledge that impairs higher cognitive skills, which make learning meaningful as a process of development of reflective thinking.
