Abstract

Higher education is facing many challenges. The world is becoming a global community due to the fast development of technology. A present-day citizen of the world must quickly and efficiently communicate thoughts and ideas, think critically, adapt to changing circumstances. In the world with almost unlimited access to information, the ability and skills to differentiate accurate and inaccurate information are becoming imperative. The higher education society is becoming more and more multicultural and this demographic change has created the necessity to review approaches and attitudes to teaching. The burden to adapt to the requirements of the multicultural education is on higher education teachers. What are the criteria for excellent teaching? What makes excellent teachers, and what qualities and skills do they possess?
