Course objectives
The aim of the course is to enable future teachers to experience chosen methods of pedagogical-psychological diagnostics applied on themselves and in specific school applications. The goal is to be able to work with information that is available in the course of instruction and at school and also be capable of gaining additional data that is relevant to an understanding of individual learning specifics of a particular pupil, screening for common issues and work with the class as a group. This is a follow-up course, preceded by more narrowly designed course in undergraduate studies. Students learn to work with data available at school in a reliable a valid way to make decisions and changes in teaching and maintainance or development of successful teaching (evidence bassed instruction). They learn to identify indicators of potential issues, use available data and gain necessary data by learning to choose appropriate tool, to evaluate data and interpret it, to propose measures and to evaluate them. Based on the data they learn to decide on differentiation and individualization in teaching, expert support, evaluation of the effectiveness of their practice. They learn to communicate results to colleagues, pupils, parents and experts.
