The presumptions of high-quality collaboration between students and university professors

Abstract

This paper examines the presumptions of high-quality collaboration between students and university professors. The aim of the research was to establish how the students evaluate the quality of this collaboration in the context of the student - university professor relationship and further on in the context of organization of teaching activities. By using descriptive research method and the content analysis procedure, the opinions which were brought out by the students during the organized questioning in a focus group have been systemized. The results of this research confirm the fact that the students without a doubt recognize and determine the quality of university professors’ work, and that their opinions are in concordance with the opinions of the renowned contemporary pedagogues.

U radu se razmatraju pretpostavke kvalitetne saradnje studenata i univerzitetskih nastavnika. Cilj istraživanja je bio da se utvrdi kako studenti određuju kvalitet ove saradnje, u kontekstu odnosa student - univerzitetski nastavnik, zatim u kontekstu organizacije nastavnih aktivnosti. Deskriptivnom istraživačkom metodom i postupkom analize sadržaja, sistematizovani su stavovi koje su studenti izneli tokom organizovanog ispitivanja u fokus grupi. Rezultati ovog istraživanja potvrđuju da studenti jasno prepoznaju i određuju kvalitet rada univerzitetskih nastavnika, te da su njihovi stavovi usaglašeni sa stavovima istaknutih savremenih pedagoga.
