1. Innovative teaching methods in higher education : the case of University of PrimorskaTina Štemberger, Andreja Klančar, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The paper addresses the use of innovative teaching methods in higher education, specifically at the University of Primorska (UP). In the last decades, the use of digital technologies in teaching has undoubtably changed both, teaching and learning process. However, not much research has focused on using innovative teaching methods in higher education settings, so the aims of the study were to (i) determine how frequently higher education professors use different teaching strategies and methods and tools, digital tools and generative AI tools, (ii) what kind of challenges they face in this context and (iii) which competences would they need to better implement innovative teaching methods into their teaching. Data was gathered with questionnaire which was administered in spring 2024. A total of 74 academic staff members of UP participated in the study. The results in general show that higher education professors frequently use as problem-based learning, team-based learning, and scenario-based learning, while gamification, design thinking, and cooperative learning are underutilized. They frequently use Google Drive and YouTube. The major barriers for using more innovative teaching strategies and methods are time constraints, limited access to resources and technology, and lack of pedagogical and digital skills, so they express the need for targeted training in digital tools, AI, and innovative teaching methods, as well as strategies for engaging students and managing large groups.

4. Empowering men to take control of their own health : development and validation of the Men’s Response to Colorectal Cancer Screening Scale (MR–CCSS)Vesna Jašič, Mirko Prosen, Sabina Ličen, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background/Objectives: Despite the proven effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening, men are less likely to participate than women, with emotional, behavioural and informational barriers contributing to this disparity. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Men’s Response to Colorectal Cancer Screening Scale (MR–CCSS), a gender-sensitive instrument for measuring key factors that influence the participation of men in colorectal cancer screening. Methods: The scale was developed through a structured process that included qualitative data from focus groups (n = 20 men) and expert review (n = 11 professionals). Initial item pools were refined based on indices of content validity (I-CVI ≥ 0.78; S-CVI/Ave ≥ 0.90), resulting in a 23-item scale. The MR–CCSS was administered to 289 Slovenian men aged 50–74 years, and its psychometric properties were assessed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability tests. Results: The EFA revealed a five-factor structure. Together, these factors explained 61.9% of the total variance. The CFA confirmed the robustness of the model (CFI = 0.928, TLI = 0.910 and RMSEA = 0.056). The internal consistency was acceptable to good, with Cronbach’s alpha between 0.665 (factor 4) and 0.833 (factor 5) for the subscales and 0.863 for the total scale. The ROC analysis showed moderate predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.702), with an optimal cut-off value of 92.5 (sensitivity = 0.782 and specificity = 0.509) for participation in screening. Conclusions: The MR–CCSS is a valid and reliable tool for identifying barriers to colorectal cancer screening in men. Its use can serve as a basis for gender-specific interventions, customised health education and strategies to improve screening equity.

5. Adolescents’ attitudes toward educational and employment status after leaving residential care : the case of SloveniaJovita Pogorevc, Tina Štemberger, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examines adolescents’ attitudes toward education and employment following their departure from residential care (RC) centers. Data were collected from adolescents currently residing in RC centers through a structured questionnaire, which addressed four key dimensions: (i) negative attitudes toward further schooling, (ii) passive attitudes toward job searching, (iii) active job searching and (iv) aspirations for independence. A total of 95 participants took part in the study. Overall, the findings indicate that adolescents generally do not exhibit negative attitudes toward continuing their education. However, female participants demonstrated greater motivation to pursue further schooling compared to their male counterparts, and adults showed a higher readiness for continued education than minors. Respondents also expressed a strong intent to seek employment after leaving RC centers, rejecting reliance on social support. They displayed a preference for securing stable, permanent jobs aligned with their training. Additionally, the participants reported high aspirations for independent living, including securing well-paying jobs, and expressed a strong commitment to achieving these goals. Notably, this aspiration was more pronounced among minors.

6. Evaluating the digital transformation in healthsciences education : a thematic analysisof higher education teachers’ perspectivesMirko Prosen, Sabina Ličen, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The rapid shift to digital-based education has profoundly influenced pedagogical approaches in health scienceshigher education. This transformation has prompted a critical re-evaluation of digital pedagogy to improve learningeffectiveness and adapt to emerging educational realities. This study explored the perspectives of health sciencesteachers on digital pedagogy in higher education, with a specific focus on their adaptation to and perception ofintegrating digital technologies in pedagogical processes. A qualitative research design utilizing thematic analysiswas employed. The study involved twenty health sciences teachers in higher education institutions through fourfocus group sessions. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified: (1) Digitaltransformation in education, (2) Educational efficacy and evolution, and (3) Overcoming barriers and embracingopportunities. These themes have shown that the introduction of technology is closely linked to pedagogicalinnovation, as digital tools have transformed educational practise by enabling more interactive, flexible and learner-centred approaches. Additionally, they highlighted the challenges of integrating new technologies into existingeducational frameworks. Digital pedagogy in health sciences education remains a dynamic field that demandscontinuous adaptation and development. To effectively integrate digital tools, teachers need robust supportthrough professional development. This support is essential for creating engaging, inclusive, and effective learningenvironments. Addressing technological disparities and enhancing digital literacy are critical for fully harnessing thepotential of digital education.
