Internship 1200-2PRAKZA3P

The goal of the internship is to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom to effectively complete tasks assigned by the internship supervisor. The internship involves learning about the educational institution (how it operates, the teaching tasks it carries out, and the teaching documentation it maintains), actively observing the work of a teacher (particularly a chemistry teacher), and planning, conducting, and analyzing lessons (conducted under the supervision of the internship supervisor).
