Course objectives
The subject – epistemological sources of teaching – has in a preparation of Primary school teachers and tutors a propaedentic significance for further pedagogical disciplines of diagnostic and didactic character. In summer term this subject is a parallel part of the supervised pedagogical practice in the course of which students shall process the selected assignments. During the processing of empirical probes into the world of individual and cooperative child’s cognition, the students will enter into the first professional contacts with children and test their professional motivation. They will make an immediate use of the acquired theoretical pieces of knowledge in practical activities with children and on the grounds of comprehension of child’s cognitive mechanisms their pedagogical thinking and individual conception of teaching will get formed from the very beginning in favour of constructivistic approaches and autentical learning.
