The Centre for Education at the Faculty of Arts

The Centre for Education at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana has been operating for seventeen years. The need for better quality teacher training has led to a range of educational programmes in which the experiences of individual participants are combined with theoretical findings on the effectiveness of learning and teaching. The group has made an important contribution to the development of experts in different fields. They have become better teachers, open to creative learning communication. They have been trained in the use of active experience methods in higher education. They have developed and run courses on higher education ‘How to give proper Lectures', organised a summer school on the development of university teaching and prepared a range of seminars on topics such as student-tutors and group studying in higher education. In this way the original remit of the project has been outgrown and the Society for Didactics in Higher Education has been founded, led by Dr Barica Marentič Požarnik.
