Industry 4.0 requires highly skilled, sophisticated workers and entrepreneurs, and continuous training is essen-tial for them, and its scene is increasingly shifting to higher education. For this reason, higher education peda-gogy must go through continuous innovation. In this article, we present a model experiment of VET teacher training, which consists of a so-called proactive learning method and a portfolio-based evaluation process. In the pedagogical model, the student-teacher relationship focuses on the preparation process before the classroom meeting. During proactive learning, the student prepares for the lesson using ICT systems, gets to know his / her classmates, collects and processes data. By combining his impressions, his own written works, his reflec-tions during the learning process, he creates a kind of developmental history and work description, which is the actual portfolio. Portfolio as an assessment method is an integral part of the proactive learning model. Portfolio implementation requires a proactive learning model, and in this model, portfolio is the most appropriate as-sessment method. One of the aims of our experiment is to investigate whether performance measurement in higher education pedagogy can be carried out through portfolio-type evaluation. Another aim of our experiment is to examine whether the efficiency of knowledge transfer in higher education pedagogy can be improved through a proactive learning process.

  Abstract The evolution of teaching is currently considered a very important task, both from an institutional and a moral viewpoint. The evaluation of such a domain, and its conduct, has been reported by several research studies in the literature. “Who? What? How? Drawing from which references? Which clues? Should the people assessed take part in the process? To what extent should the results be publicized?” (Demailly, 2001). For that reason, we will first draw some guidelines for the evaluation of teaching and try to define its possible objectives. Three main domains may be contemplated: teachers’ activity (teaching), the learning process (learning), and the effects of the teaching/learning process. These draw upon an enquiry carried out in three different faculties by our research team. This study is related to the VOLUBILIS project "Moroccan and European students: a comparative approach”, which aims to identify the challenges and expectations of Moroccan students. The purpose of this research is to indicate how students at Hassan II University of Casablanca judge the quality of their studies. We will be able to show that an evaluation of courses by students is both possible and profitable. As a matter of fact, this enquiry has brought up valuable information about higher education pedagogy that concerns the three fields mentioned earlier, and it also offer some suggestions to generate improvements. Keywords: evaluation, teaching, students, quality, higher education, ACP.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of spirituality in higher education pedagogy and highlights the results of introducing spiritual-oriented pedagogy into the educational process in foreign institutions. Spirituality has a huge impact on inner self-knowledge, because by studying oneself, one can open from different sides. The task of spiritual pedagogy is undoubtedly the analysis of the students' internal state. After trying out a course of spiritual-oriented pedagogy, some students have become the target of spiritual instruction, have noted that no dramatic changes have occurred in their lives. Other students, on the other hand, were surprised by the number of changes that began to manifest after the introduction of spiritual pedagogy. They emphasized that they have increased the ability to focus during lectures, have the patience and peace of mind for dealing with stressful situations and people, such as listening, speaking, reading and writing have become integral and enjoy the learning process, ecology and the environment became an important issue in the range of environmental problems, and the most important thing was that the brain began to filter thoughts and abstract from «empty» and useless ideas. Students noted that they could not get full access to their own creative ideas in the course of spiritual pedagogy, and after meditations it became possible. Spiritual pedagogy has become a unique valuable experience for most of them, as it has enabled them not only to acquire knowledge but also to acquire wisdom. The students described the learning process as «freeing the mind from captivity», as an opportunity to feel a greater sense of interest in learning, because the «static» course, in their mind, impeded the full absorption of the material. The course of spiritual pedagogy has become, for many, the most important "panacea" for internal problems. Students began to learn, that led to an incredible result: concentration of attention through practice to activate mindfulness, the ability to be patient, the ability to get rid of wrong thoughts, to get rid of stereotypes and conventional but not completely important canons. Therefore, spiritual pedagogical theory in the Western world has attracted the attention of educators and researchers. This theory seeks to realize values that arose from religion and culture in pedagogical practice in educational institutions. Knowledge becomes clearer, and the motivation and control of teachers in their work emerges in a new sense. Not only teachers work to fulfill their duties or team responsibilities, they also work to achieve something more valuable, noble and useful than just material or worldly goals.

This means that learning can be done not only in classrooms, but also outside the classroom in order for students to be more comfortable and active in the learning process. the initial ability of students needs to be considered in the learning process because it affects the ability of students to follow the next learning process. This article describes the meaning, goals and benefits, advantages and disadvantages and the stages of the method of outdoor learning. So that it can be concluded that higher education is education in higher education that has several general goals / principles where knowledge (knowledge) is created, used continuously and a place of search for knowledge, solving various problems, where to criticize the works produced, or as the place for the formation and development of student character to become a student who has high reasoning, sharp and broad analysis. Especially in environment-based learning developed so that students gain more experience related to the surrounding environment.

AbstractThis paper deals with presenting the main aspects of the assessment of learning in higher education, with an emphasis on the challenges that the evolution of the society imposed to this process. The main assessment techniques are presented and explained, insisting on their ability of coping with different objectives that can be assumed by the evaluation process. The paper insists on the importance of choosing the adequate methods for the assessment of learning and on the need to create new ones able to fit better to the needs of the new generations. It also tackles the limits of using these methods and the nexus generated by the conflict between adopting the optimal methods for the assessment of learning from a scientific point of view and the need for imposing working procedures and standards in the higher education system that sometimes prevent from achieving the optimum. Also, the factors that have a role to play in the choice of the design of the assessment of learning process are described in a special section. The paper also insists on the need of creating a versatile assessment of learning process that would offer the right combination of assessment methods able to support the learning process and that can be achieved only if a large liberty is given to the professional judgement of the teachers as opposed to bureaucratical procedures imposed by the society.

Perubahan jaman menuntut peserta didik menjadi lebih aktif dan kreatif. Namun metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan di perguruan tinggi masih menggunakan metode tradisional, yaitu pengajar memiliki peran penting dalam proses pembelajaran. Akibatnya, peserta didik hanya menjadi objek dalam sistem pembelajaran yang membuat mereka menjadi pasif. Peserta didik tidak memiliki inisiatif untuk membangun sendiri pengetahuan mereka karena memang kurangnya kesempatan yang mereka untuk terlibat atau berpartisispasi dalam proses pembelajaran. Active learning adalah model pembelajaran yang dianggap efektif untuk meningkatkan keaktifan peserta didik dalam proses pembelajaran. Salah satu cara pengaplikasian model pembelajaran ini adalah dengan menerapkan metode collaborative learning, dimana perspektif dari metode ini adalah seseorang dikatakan belajar apabila orang tersebut terlibat aktif dalam proses pembelajaran.Kata kunci: Active Learning, Collaborative Learning  Abstract: Increasing Student Participation Through Collaborative Learning. Changes in time require students to be more active and creative. But, learning method that applied in higher education still use traditional method, which is lecturer has an important role in the learning process. As a result, students only become objects in the learning system that makes them passive. They don’t have initiative to build their own knowledge because of the lack of opportunities that they are involved in or participating in the learning process. Active learning is a learning model that is considered effective to increase the activity of the students in the learning process. One way to apply this learning model is to apply collaborative learning method, where the perspective of this method is that someone is said to learn if the person is actively involved in or participates in the learning process.        Keyword: Active Learning, Collaborative Learning
