Co-operation of science and business as a factor of improvement of the quality of university education
Abstract
Description
The purpose of this paper is identifi cation of the direction for university education
models that should be adopted to provide graduates with skills that will ensure them
full employability and capability to respond more fl exibly to changes in the labour
market. As the experience of other European countries show, university teaching
must address the needs of future employers and produce graduates they wish to
employ. Consequently, a new teaching model must be developed, capable of being
easily adjusted to the rapidly changing economic market. A proper solution in this
respect seems to be cooperation of establishments of higher education with businesses,
especially when it comes to including enterprises in the process of drawing
up and implementing university educational programmes. Foreign and domestic
examples of effective implementation of teaching models based on cooperation with
entrepreneurs presented in the paper confi rm that interaction with business may be
the key element of a successful university education system.
In this paper, the complexity of contemporary challenges facing the European
Higher Education launched along with the Bologna Process has been presented. In
sections 1 and 2 this process is discussed in details, and its goals, i.e. improvement
of the quality and competitiveness of European higher education is highlighted. It
is also pointed out that implementation of this process means standardisation of the
educational system (leading, inter alia, to full European recognition of qualifi cations
and diplomas.
In sections 3 and 4 it is claimed that because universities function in a certain
economic environment, they should include in their programmes the demands and
expectations of local labour markets. The need to strengthen cooperation between
higher education establishments and employers has been particularly emphasised
and supported with examples of such cooperation in other countries. The paper ends
with a recommendation how foreign experiences and solutions may be implemented
in Poland.
