Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to develop the capacity for systematic observation and subsequent in-depth reflection on teaching, with an emphasis on bridging theory and practice. Students learn to analyze didactic procedures, the lesson planning process in relation to pupils' needs, and the application of formative approaches and feedback. Based on these observations, students develop the skill to critically evaluate pedagogical practices. KPUAJ: 1.2., 2.1., 2.5. a 4.2.
Students develop the ability to navigate issues related to both the content and the process of teaching and learning. The close link with the courses Introduction to General Didactics and Introduction to Foreign Language Didactics supports the development of professional competences. Students learn to observe and critically analyze specific classroom situations, ask questions, and evaluate both their own and others' experiences.
