Chemistry teaching exam 1200-2EGZAMIN3P
The exam assesses the student's knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired during methodological classes, laboratory sessions, and internships at the school. The exam is practical and involves conducting a chemistry lesson in the laboratory of the Chemistry Education Laboratory at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw, with an invited class.
The exam assesses the student's ability to appropriately select content, methods, and teaching formats appropriate to the lesson topic and the age of the students, as well as the ability to write a lesson outline and conduct the lesson. Considerable attention is paid to the methodological and substantive accuracy of the lesson.
Student work time:
- preparing for the lesson (preparing the outline, selecting experiments, preparing reagents and equipment, selecting the best experimental arrangements, preparing the worksheet, consultations with the instructors) - approx. 20 hours, including approx. 8 hours in contact with the instructors
- preparing the room before the lesson - approx. 1 hour
- conducting the lesson - 1 hour
- tidying up the room after the lesson - approx. 1 hour
- discussing the lesson progress - approx. 1 hour
total: approx. 25 hours
