Leading methods of teaching at universities and higher educational institutions

摘要

This paper is centred around the determination of leading methods used for advanced teaching and lecturing at the universities and higher educational institutions (HEIs). We analyse the worldwide experience and scrutinise the best practices. Moreover, we assess the existing techniques and approaches and classify the most advanced ones. Our results show that over the recent decades, the leading methods to teaching at universities and HEIs have altered dramatically. The rise of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) enabled the access to all possible and imaginable information, partnerships with institutions and companies from across the world, and the change of perspectives among the academic staff. The motivation of students to learn have changed too, making the whole system less effective.
