Sažetak
University is an institution of extreme importance concerning global knowledge development. It has been defined through two main issues: research and teaching process. Excellency is nowadays a term which has been used as necessity in research as well as in university teaching. Traditionally established university teaching process forces the picture of teacher as the main resource in quality of teaching. The role of university teacher however has been changing during the last two decades. This change has been supported by the change of university curriculum concept. In spite of modern request for partnership in student-teacher relation, evaluation of university teaching and learning effects still has been treated as teacher’s responsibility. This understanding brings us to an issue of student responsibility for academic achievements: as long as university teacher has been treated as chief rather than guide and supervisor in curriculum development university education will exist as adult education process with pedagogical approach to adult students. Consequently this has been followed by many misunderstandings and conflicts in teacher-student communication. Mutual accusing in both ways for bad academic achievements increase while good relationships decrease. Due to communication theory as well as modern curriculum theory, conflict prevention in teaching and learning process is possible if we work on empathy. This paper discusses the possibility of empathy development in teacher-student communication based on the last phase of curriculum development – evaluation – by proactive students’ engagement in grading of learning effects. It describes a process of partnership building in university education as adult education process, bringing us to a modern picture of adult learning in higher education.
