Synopsis:

Before beginning the teaching practice, the student completes an introductory course in teaching practice (Introduction to Teaching Practice). The first phase of direct practice primarily involves classroom observation at a specific school and the preparation of observation protocols. In the following phase, students actively participate in teaching and engage in school-related activities. The student carries out the practice at a designated school for one semester, either two days per week or one day per week over the course of the school year. At least 90 hours must be spent in the classroom, of which 45 hours involve actual teaching, either independently or in pairs. The full 15 ECTS credits also account for time spent on lesson preparation, writing observation protocols, and similar activities, amounting to a total of 450 hours.

Requirements:

Preparation of lesson plans and elaboration of observation protocols, direct teaching, and a teaching practice report.

Syllabus of lectures:

Designing ones own teaching

Lesson planning and lesson implementation

Analysis and potential revision of observed and taught lessons

Broader practical activities: participation in pedagogical councils, student councils, parent-teacher meetings, subject committee meetings; organization of field trips; involvement with guidance counseling and school psychologist activities; responsibilities of a class teacher and related documentation (class books, class self-government, conducting class meetings, etc.)

Development and implementation of the School Educational Programme and curriculum; didactic analysis of subject matter

Form of practice: observation (classroom visits) in lessons taught by teachers of the same or related subject

Teaching activities carried out by the student during lessons

Study Objective:

To verify and apply theoretical knowledge in practice through the implementation of teaching activities (including classroom observations, students own teaching performances, and active participation in school and extracurricular activities).

The direct teaching practice consists of classroom observations and independent or paired teaching, according to the student's subject specialization, as well as active involvement in school and extracurricular activities.

The practice concludes with the submission of a final written report and a targeted final consultation.
