Importance of Human Skills and “Fun” in Education of Project Leaders

Abstract

The pandemic has accelerated the digitalization of education in Slovak Republic. The question: “How to teach in the online world?” has become important. How to set a schedule, teach, get, and keep the attention of pupils and students in an online environment, how to assign tasks and teamwork, how to test and assess them. What tools and technical equipment are adequate. Yet even in the third year of the pandemic, our school system was not ready for online high school graduation. In doing so, we consider the most important question to be a fundamental one: “Why are we learning?” Answering it can help us change what we are supposed to be learning in a world where technological developments are occurring exponentially in almost every sector. And they can help us identify the knowledge and skills we need to adapt to ever-changing conditions. Based on our experience in practice, we therefore set out to review the teaching of the Project Management course at Faculty of Management of Comenius University Bratislava.
