Course objectives

The course elaborates on students' knowledge and experiences gained during teaching practice and field didactics courses. The course aims at incorporating new knowledge from educational, psychological and pedagogical research on school education into teacher education. It aims at developing and supporting future teachers' professional vision, knowledge and acting. The course incorporates three thematic areas: (a) theory and practice of school, (b) theory and practice of curriculum, (c) theory and practice of instruction.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is able to: • Understand and use the basic terminology of school pedagogy. • Apply the basic terminology of school pedagogy to describe, analyze, interpret and evaluate the school as an institution and organization. Describe, analyze and evaluate the selected curricular documents and learning situations. • Characterize the educational environment of the school where they completed the teaching practice. • Describe and explain the curricular processes on a specific example. • Describe and critically analyze the work of the trainer teacher with curricular documents. • Characterize the selected quality criteria of teaching and give reasons for their importance for the teacher´s daily routine on the basis of practical examples. • Plan and evaluate the teaching unit on the basis of self-reflection (reasoning, relevance of the subject, objectives, contents, methods, evaluation and alteration). • Propose a framework preparation for instruction of a chosen topic or thematic unit of study and apply it in practice, preparation of teaching chosen topic; • Give examples of correctly and incorrectly formulated learning objectives by using the portfolio. • Suggest possible ways how to identify and influence pupils' concepts of learning. • Formulate teaching tasks of different cognitive levels. Considering the objective of instruction they provide an adequate way of pupil assessment; • Give reasons for using specific teaching methods during their teaching practice, review those methods critically and suggest other possibile methods which can be used in the same or similar teaching context.

Assessment methods

Oral exam Students of Special Education do not take seminars, i.e. they do not have to pass the credit for the exam. Students of special pedagogy can work with case studies (SOURCE: Bytešníková, I. et al. (2019). Here we are! Case studies in special pedagogy - a special pedagogue and his role. Brno: MU.) and orient themselves on the 2 selected cases in their portfolio tasks, i.e. describe the individual teaching of pupils according to the following structure. STRUCTURE OF THE PORTFOLIO ASSIGNMENT A. Choose a school whose SEP is available to you (i.e. you do an internship at the school, the school has SEP on the website, etc.). Study the SEP and critically evaluate how the school presents itself. How do the declared principles/strategies correspond with the educational philosophies of Pasche et al.? For this, study chapter 2.1 from the publication Pasch et al. (2005). 1. What is the declared characteristic of the school? 2. What declared principles/strategies is the given SVP based on? Summarize your answers in one or two paragraphs. B. Subject - educational area: Year: Thematic unit - its goals, anchoring in  ŠVP, RVP. List the expected outputs that you will develop in a targeted manner in the hours and state the name and thematic areas of the selected cross-cutting topic. Please cite the relevant pages of the RVP, where outputs and circuits are listed. Concept map for the thematic unit (DAU concept) Based on it, develop at least two lessons in the structure: · Goals, content analysis, teaching strategies and learning tasks (DAU operational). · Differentiation (one task for one student). · Evaluation (a specific example of one type of evaluation). Submit the assignment to the appropriate drop-in center according to the teachers' instructions. More information in the  interactive outline. Task evaluation The task meets the following criteria: • This is the student's original text. • The scope (min. 5 pages) and structure correspond to the assignment (see above). • The assignment is handed in by the prescribed deadline (or an exception is negotiated with the teacher in advance). • The text is written in accordance with the literary language standard. • The text is provided with a bibliography and contains citations according to the APA standard.
