Persons who show interest in the field of participation in teaching-related projects through service learning have greater opportunities to develop various research programs that are closely related to the advancement of higher education and general development of communities. In this regard, firstly, there is the possibility to improve the practice of understanding in the field of service learning. Taking into account the fact that only SEEU serves teaching on campus conditions as a research population are taken SEEU students. To analyze the impact of the campus or university-student interaction, have been researched students of the first and fourth year, Albanian students and Macedonian students, from all study programs were also interviewed by Law Faculty students, Public Administration, Communication Sciences and Technologies, Business Administration and Pedagogical Faculty. Altogether, 1170 students have been researched, of whom 639 male and 531 female students. Involvement of students in the community will be examined through the category Academic and Intellectual Experience, from which is highlighted Collaboration or participation in common goals, which is explained through: Work with other students in projects under the curriculum - Work with other students outside teaching to prepare the course needs - Integrating ideas and concepts into different subjects for exam preparation and classroom discussions - Participation in community projects as part of regular subjects -There were discussions of learning or reading with non-teaching faculty members - Work with faculty members in activities outside subject activity - Ideas discussed by learning or reading with others (students, family members etc.) - Serious conversations with students of different ethnicities outside of their ethnicity - Serious conversions with students of different religious beliefs, different political beliefs, etc. The results from our research proved in a convincible way where we predicted that the interaction among students from different study programs has a different impact in their involvement and cooperation in their common goals and their attempts to better understand each other, we saw that there are significant statistical differences such as: the study program of the Business Administration is more appropriate; the fourth year students and Macedonian students participate more in common objectives and they tend to understand more each other.

In this empirical research we have treated the correlation between external and internal motivation of teachers and their competencies for work with students in school. In this empirical research we have treated the correlation between external and internal motivation of teachers and their competencies for work with students in school. In this empirical research we have treated the correlation between external and internal motivation of teachers and their competencies for work with students in school. The above written hypothesis links also with several psychologists' theories. In a survey of 128 studies done recently was shown the effect of external rewards about kids, teenagers and adults' behavior, was found that when given external rewards for an action, there's a chance they wouldn't do it for a short period of time. However unexpected rewards (unlike the above written), do not necessarily reduce internal motivation but increase it. The submitted hypothesis confirms that external motivation in this case material rewards (praise, gratitude, salary increase, teachers promotion etc.) and non-material such as good words for the work and it's quality, acknowledgement, special respect etc., increases teachers' internal motivation.

Psychological approach in the research of the inter ethnic relations increased, and takes central places in researches, especially among the middle that are multicultural. Taking into consideration the previously research for the existence of different types of nationally or different form of a national closeness Rot and Havelka are noted the existence of five forms of national closeness [1]: 1. Exceptional closeness national 2. Eminent national closeness 3.Increase reusable national closeness 4.The general (all human) national closeness 5. Lack of a national closeness According Pantic [1] at the beginnings of the establishment of national attitudes can be located at the time of the third to fifth year, and certainly before the seventh year, since from the age of seven years, respondents manifested national attitudes. Numerous investigations and researches which are conducted in the past in the our country and in around (in the former Yugoslavia) shows the constancy to manifesting and their stability in me the mutual connections of the between forms of national closeness. Also in these researches, forms of national closeness appear in relatively stable affiliation. Significantly positively associated forms of national orientation as well as the forms of non-national orientation, and negatively associated forms of national and nonnational orientation. All theoretical consideration and knows in the conducted researches, especially in our country were the motive for the implementation of our research, where population consisted of students at SEE University, which is multilingual in the implementation of the teaching process and multicultural in its structure. Behavioral dimension to the prejudices traditionally is under the category of social distance. Taking into consideration of the above determination the problem of our research is "Do for various forms of a national closeness of the students exist and characteristic differences in amount and in their view of certain general social relationships in the social distance, or so that the form of national closeness occurs higher social distance and with which the form of the national closeness appears a greater degree of acceptance of the members of other nations in relation to the different social relations among the students at SEE University.

In this empirical research we have treated the motivation of teachers and their competencies in correlation with student's success. In basis of the analysis we have done it is demonstrated that there was no increase in students' success on the outside rate of the students when doing the achievement exam, in basis of motivation by the teachers. However, student's success was higher in schools where the motivation by the teachers was higher in their work unlike by teachers with lower school work motivation, which has resulted with lower success of the students in their classes. It is proven that teachers, who possess more competencies in their work, reach a higher degree of self-motivation as a very important aspect of an educational institution. It is proven that the average of motivation is higher to those teachers who have less work experience, 1-5 years, whereas teachers who have 11 and more years of work experience have lower motivation. The submitted hypothesis confirms that those teachers who greatly appreciate competition in their workplace, have a higher level of readiness of working overtime than they are required in school.

Psychological approach in the research of the interethnic relations increased, and takes central places in researches, especially among the middle that are multicultural. One former explanation of prejudice claims that a certain type of personality-autoritar personality-is particularly prone compared the prejudice (Adorno, Frankl-Brunswick, Levinson and Sanford, 1950). According to this theory, authoritarian personality compliance with the high standards of conducts and feels aggression toward those who are different. Such people | e believe in hierarchical order of in which the people who are above them are followed by increase awards and resources rather than the people that's on the bottom. All theoretical consideration and knows in the conducted researches, especially in our country were the motive for the implementation of our research, where population consisted of students at SEE University, which is multilingual in the implementation of the teaching process and multicultural in its structure. Authoritarian personality is characterize procedures and attitudes of encouragement to the authority, conformity the norms of own group, rigidity and stereotypes of opinions, and it especially in social relations witch is manifested in the stereotypes and prejudices. Behavioral dimension to the prejudices traditionally is under the category of social distance. Taking into consideration of the above determination of authoritarianism we assume a huge coincides between high Authoritarianism and social distance (a high degree of severity) among the students at SEE University.

Multicultural education represents a tool for positive utilization of cultural differences in the overall educational process. In this process, classrooms and schools become models of democracy and equality among people in society. In order to achieve such results, a large number of factors is required, starting with the teaching cadres that will act in accordance with the following rules: • Put the student in the focus, i.e. in the center of the overall teaching/learning process; • Promote human rights and show respect for cultural differences; • Behold that all students are able to learn and study; • Accept and recognize students as such and permanently show interest to perfect them upon past grounds and advance them towards the future, by aiming at new experiences for students as part of the multicultural society in which the school operates. • Analyze critically the pressure and relationship between good sense and racism, gender inequality, discrimination and other negative manifestations such as isolation of youngsters and old people in the multicultural society. • Criticize the society for the benefit of social rights and equality. • Take part in common social attempts to create a real democratic society. The educational cadres, in many parts of the world, during the past decades has been struggling with the great challenge of the systematization of students in classrooms, and in this way the preparation of the ground for multicultural instruction based on the diverse composition of classes. Every teaching field can be processed in such a way to picture and reflect upon the real social situation, namely upon the existing differences among students who are offered the service, seeing them as a constitutional part of the country's and world's population. The abilities for efficient functioning of different cultural elements are issues that need to be addressed properly. In order for the students to function efficiently and as a whole in a democratic society, they have to learn about differences and injustices which occur at certain times and under given circumstances. Otherwise, our society will not be able to overcome these differences and injustices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ethnic affiliation, people respectively nation is a factor that affects the formation of attitudes and consequently the formation of ethnic bias. Besides many human needs, some authors point out that there is a connection with the group identify with the group. The need to meet the group, social psychologists say, is imperative; it deeply affects human social activity. Belonging to ethnic groups play a significant role in shaping the attitudes of the individuals. The person will choose those attitudes that serve to satisfy his needs. But meeting the needs associated with group rates. Individual's starts too early to reveal and teach the group agreed with the thoughts and behavior in accordance with the norms of the group - is rewarded. Particular group affiliation is an important factor that directly affects behavior in the formation of individual attitudes and makes it possible to determine more specific causes of action and the presence of certain attitudes. Social Relief is the most basic form of influence. When you work side by side with someone without having interacted with him, realizations are different than when you work yourself. If your task is easy or what you have learned well, it is highly likely to have better realization in the presence of other people, as example jogging with (outdoor jogging) friend. This effect is called social influence. If the task is heavy or that still have not learned well, then it is highly likely to have the worst realization in the presence of other people. This is called social inhibition. Since both the relief and inhibition present or certainly response that occurs when the individual acts in the presence of other people (Zajonc, 1965).
