In order to get it, the student must elaborate and consult on a task using the following steps: 1. Study the SEP of a chosen school and characterize the declared principles / strategies on which the school builds the SEP. 2. Choose one thematic unit within one school year of the selected type of school and find out how the curriculum and outputs for one of its subjects are defined in the school's SEP and how they correspond to the philosophy of education of Pasche et al. The answers should be summarized in 1–2 paragraphs, referring to the above texts, and be handed in to the teacher on time according based on the instructions given. 3. Perform a didactic analysis of the curriculum of the chosen thematic unit (concepts, learning tasks, cross-curricular relations). 4. Formulate general goals for the selected thematic unit. 5. Organise the whole unit into several lessons. 6. For each lesson, formulate sub-goals derived from more general goals, and in accordance with this, design activities (learning tasks). 7. On the basis of practical experience, think about the teaching with regard to pupils' potential (e.g. gifted pupils, pupils with SEN). Put the output into one file in MS Word format, enter your name and citations according to the norms. Submit the task to the appropriate place by ... Task evaluation The task must meet the following criteria: • It is an original text from the student. • The length (2 pages) and structure correspond to the specifications (see above). • The task is submitted in due time (or an exception is agreed with the teacher in advance). • The text is written in correct standard language. • The text has a bibliography and contains APA citations.
