The Experience of Applying the Café Method in Higher Education for Law Enforcement

Abstract

Nowadays, education professionals – whether it is public or higher education – regularly meet the concepts of innovation, motivation, globalisation and lifelong learning. Now it is commonplace that teaching does not only imply that we teach and then test the gained knowledge. The shaping of attitudes, the transmission of values, and the shaping of personality bear utmost importance in the university education involving young adults. In Hungary, this is particularly true for law enforcement training, which is the first scene of their professional socialization if the students start their higher education studies right after their Matura examination. In accordance with modern pedagogical approaches, the study demonstrates the experience of applying a method that tries to improve the skills of the students within the framework of partnership.
