Course objectives
The practice of students of teaching at the Faculty of Arts is explicitly divided into three areas: these are (1) The formation of the teacher's self-concept, (2) The formation of conditions and opportunities for learning, (3) The didactic area. Across all three related subjects, propedeutic and disciplinary didactic goals are set in interdependence, the achievement of which is a prerequisite for the quality performance of the teaching profession. Within each of the practice areas, the objectives are linked to these specific areas to varying degrees. In the framework of Practice III, the propedeutic goals continue to be listed, but the practice is dominated by the didactic goals.

The following general (educational) objectives are set for Teaching Practice III:
- Students naturally apply the process of reflection to practice.
- Students are able to reflect on their practice with confidence.
- Students recognise the importance of continuing professional development in the teaching profession.
