Pedagogical practice at institutions 2300-MS2-DRŚ-PI
The aim of the institutional pedagogical internship is to enable students to become familiar with the functioning of institutions that support children, youth, and/or families, and to gain experience within the social and educational support system. The internship encourages the development of a reflective approach to institutional work, allows for the observation of care and educational activities, and provides insight into the roles played by professionals in various work environments.
Students have the opportunity to explore the objectives and specificity of different institutions in a broader systemic context and to confront theoretical knowledge with real-life practice in the field of social pedagogy.
The specific rules for carrying out the internship—including the choice of institution and the form of task implementation—are determined individually in consultation with the university internship supervisor.
