This paper presents the project “Evaluation of Teaching Language and Literature in Higher Education”. The project is meant to investigate various types of evaluation procedures in order to establish feasibility of the objectives and tasks of teaching and learning that are transformed into qualitative and quantitative changes in students’ development. This evaluation will be taking place both in the process of learning and in the final stage of teaching, meaning that formative and summative assessment of students’ and teachers’ achievements will be performed. Teachers evaluate the teaching process so as to determine the level of their teaching practice success and to compare their teaching skills to those of their colleagues. With this evaluation, we will also monitor the process of implementation of respective study programs and receive direct information on students’ opinion concerning their courses. We will also get feedback about the teaching process by collecting data on the part of students and fellow teachers, and evaluation will be carried out using evaluation sheets, questionnaires, structured group debates, or e-mail questionnaires. The subject of his project are evaluation types and we will present some examples of evaluation procedures. In addition, we will try to define the notion and to theoretically establish the action research and critical friendship. The project will be carried out with second, third and fourth-year students at the Faculty of Philology, as well as with a number of professors teaching both compulsory and elective subjects.

There are about 3 million Hungarians living as a minority outside Hungary in 7 countries of Central Europe. In some of those countries they still live in a nearly homogeneous block, whereas in others they live in diaspora. Their access to education in their mother tongue also differs. Our research covered the Hungarian institutions of higher education in the four countries with largest Hungarian minority groups, and we undertook a comparative study of their students. For our investigation we compared the families’ social status. We used data on 1739 students from 13 institutions. We concluded that indigenous Hungarian minority students did not produce homogeneous results in the categories that were examined, which led us to the discovery of important differences.

This paper deals with a partial study that is being carried out on teaching strategies that are used in the teaching practice of some institutions of higher education, which work under the competence approach. Likewise, an analysis is made of the basic competences that teachers must possess to work on any subject of the curricular maps established at a higher level under this same approach. Through this study and analysis the reality of teaching practices is exposed once educational reforms focused on the professionalization of teachers have been approved, showing the challenges, advances and areas of opportunity in the short term. Evidencing that although the educational approach by competences is currently being worked on at all levels, from basic education to higher education, there are still many gaps between the links that make up the education system chain

Institutions of higher education are realizing the importance of service learning initiatives in developing awareness of students’ civic responsibilities, leadership and management skills, and social responsibility. These skills and responsibilities are the foundation of program outcomes in accredited higher education business programs at undergraduate and graduate levels. In an attempt to meet the needs of the student market, these institutions of higher education are delivering more courses online. This study addresses a comparison of traditional and online delivery of service learning experiences. Results demonstrate no significant difference in outcomes between the online and face-to-face models.
