Abstract: The rapid evolution of the Higher Education landscape calls for innovative teaching methods, especially in fields like Art and Design. Educators are faced with the challenge of preparing their students to overcome current and future barriers. Being ‘good’ is no longer enough for educators; they must now strive for higher levels of excellence and creativity. This study aims to transcend traditional teaching techniques by implementing advanced pedagogical strategies rooted in contemporary educational theories and characterized by hands-on learning. The paper is structured around the examination of the impact of advanced student-centered strategies in Higher Education, specifically in the context of Art and Design. This entails the exploration of “Student as Researcher,†“Sequential Skills and Knowledge Accumulation,†and “Collaborative Teaching Workshops and Assessments,†as well as the analysis of how these approaches influence student problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and collaborative abilities. Through interviews and focus groups with students, the study evaluates the effectiveness of collaborative teaching in workshops and assessments, offering insights into the advantages and challenges of these methods. The research-driven findings underscore the crucial role of faculty collaboration in enhancing the learning experience and improving assessment outcomes, promoting a more dynamic learning environment.
