Changes in Quality of Lithuanian Higher Education: The Aspect of Organisational Learning

Abstract

<p><em>This article deals with processes of change in quality of higher education in Lithuania, focusing on the aspect of organisational learning of the academic community. It is maintained that organizational learning empowers teachers of higher educational institutions to pursue common aims, develop their competencies at individual and collective levels, adapt to the constantly changing environment and accumulate new knowledge, reflecting on their activities. These processes and their implementation are determined by modern management of the higher educational institution, promoting every member of the academic community (teacher) to become a member of the learning organisation individually and in a team. Collective knowledge created in such manner undoubtedly makes impact on quality of higher education.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p>
