Bologna Process: Challenges and Opportunities for the Education of Preschool Teachers. Юбилейна международна университетска конференция. , Veliko Trnovo
AbstractToday, in Europe, all preschool teachers working in preschool education and with children from early school age are educated at least to the first level. Institutions that educate teachers follow national guidelines set by the ministries of education or professional bodies, which results with a degree of homogeneity of the programs. But there are countries in which university autonomy has priority and then great disparities can arise among curricula and subject programs and courses as well as modules at universities that educate the same profiles. In the last decade the field of curricula for the education of preschool teachers has witnessed some novelties which are introduced by the Bologna process and which are based on the methodology for the reconstruction of the European higher education area. Key words: Bologna process, initial education, educators, study programs.

Quality culture of university teaching. South East European University, A National Higher Education Conference.Quality of Learning and Teaching: Policy and Practice. , Tetovo
AbstractThe question of which we will indulge in this paper is the culture of excellence in university teaching. Whether the quality of university teaching came to the level of metaphysics and became the essence of herself? Bologna process as a modern European trend is designed to cover effective models for teaching the student clearly knows what he teaches and learns why. Do we use models of motivation for academic achievement of students and teachers at universities in Macedonia? Is there a culture of quality? The results of the survey which included students in their final years and graduates as well as business community, showed that more than 60% of graduates have deficiencies in key professional working skills. More than 51% of students said they have not gained any practical skills during their studies. Young people in the region (1) does not possess the appropriate skills for employment, mainly skills that are listed by employers, and (2) there is no relationship between universities, students and business sector. Therefore, there is a need for creation of a professional body by universities to fill the gap and lead to the creation of a system of cooperation between students and companies. There is a need of innovation in university teaching, development of effective methods and a continuum of learning for a lifetime. Learning systems must adapt to changing lifestyles. First, it means a complete review and reform of teacher education and their training. Key words:, quality, culture, university teaching, bologna process.
