The authors of our issue 20/1 address psychological aspects of planning and implementing courses, discuss teaching methods in this regard and analyse the role and function of performance assessments at a high level. In this context, the reflection of teaching - by teachers and students -, the concrete use of language in teaching and the promotion of personal resources are also the subject of debate. In particular, the emotional aspects of learning are thematised in terms of the social integration of learners and their possibilities for pedagogical self-regulation. With all these perspectives on our topic, it is therefore more than clear that the findings of psychology are of eminent importance for the development of higher education.
