Syllabus
Microteaching takes place during the second and third semesters of the study program and aims to prepare students for continuous pedagogical practice. Students independently prepare partial teaching activities under the guidance of a faculty educator, which they carry out together with a supervising teacher in a classroom. Alternatively, the student's fellow classmates may role-play as the class for the teaching activity. After rehearsing the activity, students, along with the instructor, discuss and reflect on its execution: preparation, set objectives, appropriateness of the method used, student communication, and more. Microteaching I primarily focuses on teaching geology within the school premises, school laboratories, and similar settings. Field trips, walks in the surroundings, and excursions are covered by Microteaching II.
During the preparation and execution of microteaching, students:
Create preparation for microteaching (activity).
Choose appropriate teaching methods using a wide range of material and non-material didactic resources.
Develop instructional tasks and appropriately incorporate them, including suggestions for evaluation with an emphasis on formative assessment.
Reflect on the conducted microteaching and seek solutions to address any deficiencies.
