Regarding the organisation of university education in the Republic of Serbia, the above-mentioned strategy underlines that the teaching staff preserves the traditional approaches and that changes have been implemented, which implies the preservation of the status quo. Active learning and experi- ence-based learning are still not being implemented sufficiently. The transfer of knowledge from the academic sector to the broader context of the community is still poor. There is an emphasis on the need to innovate the education system, particularly university education, which will contribute to the development of the individual’s entire potential and of the individual’s creativity, as well as to a more competitive knowledge in the national market and in foreign markets. In the Republic of Serbia, higher education is especially important, and it is part of an international, particularly the European education, scientific and art sector. The mission of higher education is to constantly promote the creation and transfer of scientific findings and professional competences through organised studies and research which allow the social, cultural, economic and innovative progress of the citizens and of the entire community. Since Slovenia became an indepen- dent state, higher education has undergone major changes. There have been new circumstances, such as globalisation, remarkable technological progress, trans- national decision-making, demands for a better quality of higher education, the increasing costs of education and other political, social, environmental, as well as economic changes. During this period, Slovenia has actively participated in the Bologna process and as a member of the European Union it has committed itself to the goals of the Lisbon Strategy (Resolution on the National Higher Education Programme 2011–2020). In order to fulfil its vision, the internationalisation strategy of the Slovenian higher education sector has been focused on five key areas: mobility as a key element of the Slovenian higher education community which is connected to the international environment; a high quality international scientific-research and development cooperation; the promotion of the development of intercultural competences; the strategic focus on priority regions and states, and the promotion, support and monitoring of the Strategy for the Internationalisa- tion of the Slovenian Higher Education. All of this leads to the constant search for 5 modern approaches to learning within university education and to the innovation of existent practices. The quality of higher education is one of the priorities of national and international policies, strategies and debates. While research in the field of higher education learning and teaching, which addresses all academic disciplines, has become increasingly interdisciplinary, in practice traditional teaching methods and approaches that are focused primarily on the teacher and not on the student are still often preserved. In contrast to the well-established, often non-reflective traditional academic paradigms, putting students at the heart of the higher education system is a major change. As the modern student population has been grow- ing and becoming increasingly diverse, the development and implementation of more flexible methods and approaches to learning and teaching that are based on modern research findings and learning processes are inevitable. Modern digi- tal technology and the direct (virtual) involvement in the broader international environment also play an important role in achieving quality and reaching the increasingly complex goals of higher education. This monograph has been written as part of the bilateral research project ”Assumptions and possibilities of developing innovative models of teaching
