The implementation of cooperative methods in higher education
The implementation of cooperative methods in higher education

Summary/Abstract: The general problems of the Hungarian education system surface in the higher education sphere as well. Instructors frequently note the knowledge, skill, and competence-related deficien-cies of newly enrolled students. Additional difficulties are posed by the lack of motivation or the low level of interest toward learning. Furthermore, the prevalence of traditional educational meth-ods, the lectures designed for a large student audience and similarly structured seminars tend to exacerbate the problem. Students do not prepare for classes or strive to increase their knowledge via independent work and active in-class participation. Consequently new methods are needed for increasing the efficiency of the educational process, along with the enhancement of internal moti-vation and the promotion of subject-related interest.
