Teaching work experience 1

Students acquire field experiences with classroom observation and instruction. Mathematics teacher guides a student to gain real classroom experiences. Students observe classroom teaching and under teacher's observation also teach themselves. Teaching is discussed and analysed. In field practice is carefully designed in collaboration with high school teacher advisor and university teacher. Student participates within at least fifteen school hours and teaches at least two hours. Student mainly visits high school classes, but also elementary school.

In agreement with the course teacher, a student can partially or fully fulfil course obligations also by other specific practical pedagogical work.

In field experiences are an obligatory part of pedagogical training. It is organized to be as reflective and creative as possible. It designed to promote a successful interaction between content and didactical principles of teaching. Prospective teachers learn about the problems of modern mathematics teaching.

Students acquire the ability to understand and handle the complexity of modern teaching of mathematics. Practical experiences are ingrained into their teaching principles.
