Learning outcomes
Reflective Didactic Seminar is closely linked to Teaching Practice II, i.e. teaching English at lower secondary schools. The aim of the course is to enable student teachers to learn to reflect on their teaching practice experience. Building on the reflection students will be able to design an action plan for the development of their professional competence.
Student teachers learn to analyse their experience, further develop the knowledge base for teaching, formulate and form their own professional ´philosophy´, and broaden the range of their reflective strategie and techniques.
