- Teaching methods
- The Theory of Instruction course combines blocks of lectures, seminars and workshops. Students are expected to actively participate in the seminars and to formulate their own views on dealing with specific educational situations. Student microteaching forms an integral part of the course. It is designed as tandem teaching, which means that a pair of students prepares a single lesson. They present approx. 15 minutes of teaching from this prepared lesson which is followed by reflection and peer feedback. Microteaching is in each case video recorded and the recordings are available as a resource for videoreflection of the lesson. Microteaching is a highly effective form of teacher training and helps to develop teaching competences.
- Assessment methods
- A combination of attendance, microteaching and passing of final test is required to complete the course. 80% attendance is compulsory and is a prerequisite for being allowed to sit the final test. Another prerequisite for sitting the final test is giving a microteaching lesson. The maximum number of points that can be obtained for this assignment is 50. The minimum for successful completion of this task is 33 points. The final test is comprised of five open-ended questions aimed at determining the level of understanding of basic concepts and the level of ability to apply the knowledge in practice. The maximum number of points that can be obtained in the test is 50. The minimum for passing the test is 33 points. The points for microteaching and the test are added up to produce the final mark for the Theory of Instruction course.
