The main focus is on the ability of transferring the gained knowledge into practice; specifically in the area of planning, realizing of teaching, theory-based reflection of one’s own teaching and identification of one’s own strengths and areas in need of development.
Students will be focusing on relevant curricular documents (framework educational program and school educational program of the relevant school), students will also observe and “absorb” the culture and climate of the given school. Within the course the students will cooperate with the university teacher, peers and also their teaching practice mentor.
