Journal Title: International Journal of Higher Education Pedagogies - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper gives an overview on the history of one of the most impacting strategy to promote teachers’ training in higher education, Faculty Development, worldwide and on the reality of European universities inside the alliances as a strategy to promote the connection among people and institutions belonging to common contexts. For long time the European Union gave many guidelines on the features these realities should put into practice. In this contribution we will provide a focus on one specific consortium called UNITA Universitas Montium, which is dealing with these directions especially focusing on the promotion of learning innovation through new strategies related to teachers’ training inside the different institutions that are part of the alliance. In this regard, it has been created and implemented a survey to understand teachers’ needs and interests on many training topics, that will be deepened through the organization of focus groups’ sessions. These steps will represent the starting point to give birth to more and more ad hoc and engaging training projects and consequently develop a common and shared course of action in the learning field.
