Abstract

The purpose of this course is to develop and enhance professional competences acquired during Teaching practice 1 and to continuously take responsibility of one’s own teaching and interaction with pupils. This practice puts emphasis on the aspect of individual study field. 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 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.).

After completing the course the student will:
• evaluate his/her own development in teacher’s role,
• make his/her own process of planning, realisation and reflection of his/her teaching more effective,
• create alterations used in teaching based on reflection of his/her own teaching,
• acquire basic skills relating to all aspects of teacher’s work (both of teaching and non-teaching character),
• reflect on climate of a specific school/class and their influence on his/her own work.

Key topics

• actual teaching – 10 lessons,
• tandem teaching - 10 lessons,
• 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.),

Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching

Students evaluate their professional development through a teaching practice evaluation questionnaire (answer sheet); completion of the course is also contingent upon the evaluation of the student teacher submitted by the mentor teacher (answer sheet) and by the faculty supervisor (if selected by the student for the given semester).
• Regular attendance of the student teacher at the assigned school (verified list of activities and hours spent on practice, signed by the mentor teacher).
• Submission of lesson plan(s).

Additional tasks may be assigned by the respective department.

Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

• the student evaluates his/her professional development as part of the internship evaluation using a questionnaire; a prerequisite for completing the course is also an evaluation of the student teacher prepared by the supervising teacher (respondent) and a visiting person from the faculty (in the case of a student for the given semester); • regular attendance of the student teacher at the school where he/she is practicing (confirmed list of activities and hours spent on the internship at the school by the supervising teacher); • submitted preparation/preparations for teaching
