Continuous Teaching Practice

Class at Faculty of Arts |
AFS5U0003

Annotation

The continuous teaching practice builds on the continuous practice. The course includes an introductory or interim and a final joint seminar. The actual practicum takes place partly in tandem with another student, partly individually, the student consults the course of practice and preparation with the teacher and the faculty member. The number of hours of direct teaching activity is 36 teaching hours. The lecturer will conduct at least two video-recorded and analysed sessions. The student sets goals for self-improvement during the practicum and continually evaluates and adjusts these goals. In the course of a continuous teaching practice, students build on the knowledge they have acquired in previous types of practice and in courses in didactics and learn to apply this knowledge in their own teaching under the supervision of the faculty teacher. The cooperation between the student and the faculty teacher is set up in such a way that the student first helps the teacher with preparations and partial activities and only gradually gains independence. The continuous teaching practice has the following key components:

1) classroom observations in the classrooms in which the students will eventually teach;

2) preparation for their own teaching - developing lesson plans and analysing them with the faculty teacher;

3) tandem and independent teaching under the supervision of the faculty teacher;

4) analysis of the lessons taught with the faculty teacher/lecturer;

5) reflection in a practice journal;

6) participation in the running of the school (supervision, pedagogical meetings, parent meetings, etc.). The aim is to develop key teaching competencies in planning, implementing and reflecting on teaching. The selected materials that the student develops during the practicum become part of the student's teaching portfolio.
