Towards Enhancing the Quality of Professional Competencies, Curriculum Development, and Modern Teaching; and Methods in Higher Education: Between Reality and Challenges

Abstract

This study addresses the topic of higher education quality, professional competencies,
and modern teaching methods as integrated elements that contribute to the development
of the university educational process. The study begins by defining the concept of
professional competencies, which include the knowledge, skills, and abilities that a
university instructor possesses and that enable them to perform his teaching duties
efficiently and effectively. These competencies include lecture planning, selecting
appropriate instructional strategies, interacting with students, and assessing their
performance.
The study also highlights the importance of these competencies in improving the quality
of university education, enhancing interaction between instructors and students,
keeping pace with technological and social developments, and enabling students to
acquire critical thinking and problem-solving skills required in the labor market.
