Visokošolska didaktika in didaktično usposabljanje visokošolskih učiteljev pri nas: dosedanji razvoj, izkušnje in problemi

In Slovenia we have a comparatively long tradition of initiatives to improve the quality of teaching and learning in higher education, especially by offering appropriate training to tertiary level educators. The article focuses on the main forms, aims, content and methods, as well as some of the achievements of teacher training courses in different time periods. The framework conditions for the professionalisation of these activities and the roles individual experts, international cooperation, conferences, research studies, criteria of career development, projects, and publications have played in it are also analysed to find out what has facilitated and what has impeded the development of improving the quality of teaching and learning in higher education. After a critical evaluation of past experiences, some proposals for future initiatives and activities are presented.
