Development and Evaluation of the Higher Education Curricula

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses challenges of when developing and selecting higher education curricula .It is pointing to a slow process, outdated contents and selection of subjects, traditional structure of the educational plans and programs as well as the rigidity in job profiling and expertise development. This results in a situation in which higher education graduates have diplomas and expertise that does not correspond with the market needs and demands for expertise of the contemporary time. The paper argues that the process of evaluation and development of higher education curricula should be an ongoing process that should follow modern trends and social and technological development, as well as the orientation of the market economy. Moreover, we would like to point out to the issue of student advancement as follows: - Internal, horizontal advancement at the level of higher educational institution within the university as well as BIH social environment. - External advancement within the European educational area and a global higher education scene. - Internal vertical advancement encapsulated in the right to continue education and pursue lifelong learning, within and outside of the university and BIH society. - External vertical advancement within European and global sphere The trend to rigidly preserve educational plans and contents of higher education from the past is as unacceptable as the non-reflective copying of plans, programs and educational contents from other educational environments as it does not correspond to the reality and the development level and needs of our society. This topic is highly sociologically actual and of strategic importance given the process of adoption of European standards in higher education and overall adoption of Bologna declaration.
