Course objectives
The purpose of this course is to develop and enhance professional competences acquired during Teaching practice 1 and Teaching practice 2. The practice is of a continuous monthly form, which is realized at the end of the semester. In total, the practice takes 120 hours. Due to intensive participation in the activities of an elementary or secondary school and a higher number of own lessons (40 lessons), the student has a possibility of deeper understanding of everyday teacher’s duties. The student becomes more independent. 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.
