Teacher's information

http://moodlinka.ics.muni.cz/course/view.php?id=1257
Students submit a seminar paper in the range of five standard pages and in the written exam they get at least the minimum number of points (ie 14 out of 23 possible points). Students will insert a seminar paper into the e-learning course "Social pedagogical theories, distance e-course" (password: storch) one week before the beginning of the exam period. The topic of the seminar work is chosen by the students independently within the areas in the syllabus and materials that are available for the course in the e-l system. When creating a seminar paper, it is necessary to proceed from the selection of one of the following possible forms of grasping the topic: • analysis of the contribution of selected social theory in the field of educational reality in the context of social pedagogy, • optimization of the functioning of the Czech educational system, proposal of a solution, • analysis of an educational problem based on life experience or reading of professional literature.
