Description
We are living in times of rapid change, continuous development and digitization of the society. It brings greater requirements on the orientation of people in this environment. This development also extends into the field of education, specifically the higher education sector, which affects the whole of society. The University of Finance and Administration will therefore focus on training their teachers, who must be taught to be experts not only in their field, but they also need to have professional knowledge in pedagogical and didactic skills. The main aim of the project is to increase competencies of university teachers, and this can be accomplished by using the methodology of sharing teaching, methodical skills, knowledge and competencies in bilateral teaching mobility. It will impact on increasing the educational base of university teachers, or competencies of the university teachers, especially in the area of pedagogical, didactic and psychological skills that today must be applied against the digital generation of college students. It is expected that the project participants will gain some experience in theoretical knowledge in an international university environment and also understanding of the modern system of education (knowledge is produced for humans and by humans). Using such training, university teachers will gain and improve their pedagogical skills at the level of soft skills (communication in particular) as well as hard-skills (especially ICT). In the long run, teachers supported by this project will be able to conduct adequate education in a modern environment, utilising cutting-edge methods and advanced approaches which will also allow a more professional approach to students.
Summary of project results
Summary of bilateral results
Practical cooperation and professional transfers of methodical skills, knowledge and competencies of employees in the tertiary education from Reykjavik University to University of Finance and Administration (VŠFS) had a clear impact on increasing teaching competencies of the university teachers, as well as the expansion of competence of the university teachers of VŠFS. The impacts of the project do not only affect the defined indicators, but shape a modern teacher extensively. The benefits of these projects significantly exceed the original objectives.
