Course objectives
The course makes students familiar with upbringing aspects of school education. Students will encounter current research aimed at upbringing situations in schools. Based on work with qualitative data from these studies, student will analyse and interpret selected phenomena. In the context of seminar tasks, students will write their own story with a theme of „My biggest trouble in school“. As a second step, they will be required to rewrite the story from a point of a teacher, and as a third step, they will compare perspectivity of both agents. In this way, they learn to understand upbringing situations in various contexts, they move from pupil’s perspective to teacher’s/assistant’s perspective.
