The monograph is devoted to the implementation of the teaching excellence paradigm. This direction is one of the priorities of the development of the European area of higher education, which includes Ukrainian higher education.

The publication contains three parts: the first part summarizes the theoretical foundations and political implications for the implementation of teaching and learning excellence in universities; in the second part, the practices of domestic higher education and scientific institutions, as well as international projects implemented in Ukraine and are in charge of the practices, are presented; in the third – practical recommendations for universities and scientific institutions regarding the creation of institutional models, strategies, approaches, solutions for improving teaching and learning excellence are presented.

The monograph will be useful for academic staff of universities, management personnel, researchers and experts who are interested in the problem of teaching and learning excellence and are directly responsible for its solution in higher education institutions.

We now continue to systematically work on the implementation of the strategic tasks of K-PNU activities, where one of the main ones is the formation, preservation and strengthening of personnel potential. This implies the need to create appropriate conditions for professional formation, development, improvement and self-improvement of academic staff.
