This article examines the importance of improvisation skills as a future skill and as a professional competence of teachers. The main focus is a research-based development project that aims to explore and develop ways of teaching improvisation skills in the associated courses of practical school studies. A design-based research approach is used to analyze the perspectives of students, lecturers and mentor-teachers in order to identify the conditions, understandings and potentials of improvisation for teacher training and to formulate further development perspectives for higher education didactics.

Not only society, but also the higher education landscape is undergoing fundamental change. This poses major challenges for the quality of higher education teaching at universities and colleges in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: Digitalisation of all areas, educational expansion and mass universities, demands for higher labour market relevance of studies, promotion of future skills, questions about economically sustainable education funding and socio-political challenges of our time call for new skills for contemporary teaching. These developments are contributing to a reflection and readjustment of the goals of academic education and are gradually bringing university teaching more into the focus of politics and society. The increased attention paid to teaching is accompanied by the question of the (further) development of university didactic professionalisation, which is increasingly moving away from traditional forms of knowledge transfer and further towards project-based and more open teaching and learning environments.
