Státní závěrečná zkouška z pedagogiky a psychologie je zkouškou způsobilosti, v níž student/ka prokazuje poznatky ze základních pedagogických a psychologických disciplín, propojuje je, začleňuje do teoretických souvislostí a vyvozuje z nich praktické implikace. Student/ka se na zkoušku připraví dle stanovených okruhů s oporou o odborné publikace (včetně výsledků pedagogického a psychologického výzkumu) a studentské portfolio (přípravy na vyučovací hodiny, videonahrávky, písemné sebereflexe, seminární práce, portfoliové úkoly atd.). Důraz je kladen na kritické uchopení poznatků, jejich vzájemné propojení, vztažení k dosavadní pedagogické zkušenosti studenta/studentky a k řešení pedagogicko-psychologických problémů ve výukové praxi.
