Course objectives
The aim of the course is to guide students through argumentation to develop their own thinking about real issues related to the state final exam, beyond mere memorization of facts. Attention is focused on questions from the first and second areas, particularly topics related to Czech educational policy, socialization in the family and school, and inclusive education. Each topic is taught using the same method, which is argument-based teaching that involves group work, discussion, and subsequent reflection by students. By the end of the course, students are able to think comprehensively about the topics and engage in discussions about them.
