Social change processes entail new challenges for the conception and design of education. Guided by the idea of development-oriented education, a field-tested model for a new study program is presented here, which is continuously intertwined with practice, incorporates qualified supervision and coaching, and minimizes the presentation of content, thus fostering learners’ personality development and self-directed learning to a high degree.

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.
