Organizational units dedicated to university teaching have become widely established at German-speaking colleges and universities. However, it is apparent that the ambitions formulated at the beginning of German-language university teaching at the end of the 1960s have now often been reduced to offering continuing education courses in university teaching. This raises questions about the significance of university teaching for teaching reform and academic education as its guiding principle.

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.
