Course objectives
The purpose of this course is to extend professional competences, to get familiar with roles a teacher encounters during his/her work, and to be aware of one’s own professional needs. This practice puts an emphasis on pedagogical-psychological aspect of the practice. Within this course, the student has a possibility to link theoretical knowledge gained in courses of Pedagogy, Psychology and his/her own study field with practical experience and to enhance reflective and self-reflective skills needed for teacher’s profession. The course is linked to Seminar to teaching practice, where the student reflects on his/her teaching practice in a small group of students. The practice is continuous and is to be realized in 10 weeks during the semester. The practice takes in total 60 hours consisting of 40 hours of being actually in school and 20 hours of own preparation for teaching or help to the mentor (e.g. correction of tests, preparation of teaching aids, etc.). Teaching outcomes: After completing the seminar the student will: • have a real image of planning, realisation and reflection of his/her own teaching • be conscious of teacher’s everyday activities (both of teaching and non-teaching character); • reflect the climate of a specific school and class and their influence on his/her own work.
Syllabus
  • • activities related to (class) teacher’s assistant, set by a director of elementary school or mentor (e.g. help with correction of written assignments or pupils’ notice books, teaching aids, individual work with pupils with special educational needs, assisting (together with the teacher) pupils’ excursions, preparation of school projects and events, monitoring pupils’ behaviour, participation in parents’ meetings, help with school/class administrative work, preparation of class meetings, substituting teachers etc.); • keeping a teaching diary and completing a long-term complex portfolio task – time for completing these tasks is reserved for the course of Seminar to teaching practice, which is directly related to the teaching practice • observations of mentor’s lessons (depending on possibilities of the school); • actual teaching – 6 hours (a two-subject student teaches 3 hours of each subject)
