TEACHING QUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION: PREREQUISITES FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT

Summary/Abstract: Engagement of students in the teaching process, joint project activities with teachers, their readiness for learning and initiative are the basic prerequisites for ensuring the quality of higher education process and outcomes. Searching the possibilities of improving university teaching quality, we examined students' attitudes (N = 174) in order to determine whether students recognize the importance of joint activities with teachers, project planning and implementation, in the context of their motivational readiness for more efficient learning and higher quality acquisition of knowledge. The research was performed using a descriptive method and a scaling process. Research results confirm that students recognize the importance of joint project activities they implement with teachers during instruction, as well as of step-by-step learning (by smaller units), further motivating them to learn. These results point the researchers to the directions of action aimed at developing a system of measures to improve the quality of contemporary university education.
