Internship 1200-2PRAKZA3P

The aim of the course is to collect experience related to the teacher's work through:
- getting acquainted with the specificity of a primary and a post-primary school (learning about the tasks it performs, how it functions, how to organize work, documentation);
- observation (students and their needs, student-teacher interaction and student-pupil, lesson and extra-curricular activities);
- acting as a tutor-educator (conducting educational activities, including educational activities)
- keeping internship records;
- confronting theoretical knowledge with practice;
- evaluation of the activities carried out.
The aim of the course is also to improve teaching and chemical skills through:
- conducting chemistry lessons;
- writing lesson plans;
- formulating teaching goals;
- conducting classes using various teaching methods, with particular emphasis on methods for activating students;
- development of teaching materials including students with special educational needs;
- preparing and safely conducting chemical experiments and describing them at an appropriate level of detail;
- controlling the student's knowledge (oral and written control).
