The course emphasizes work with didactic structures, the creation of didactic situations and the overlap of disciplines in complex activities.
The course is based on students' self-study (corresponding to the number of credits), with the fact that the teaching complements and structures the studied information, assumes critical and creative thinking and the ability to communicate this adequately.
