Course description for academic year 2017/2018
Contents and structure
Practice will be relevant to and integrated in all subjects and should be viewed as a learning arena equivalent to teaching at the university college. All students will teach subjects that they have been taught, while the practice periods are also intended to provide experience of the totality of the subjects that pupils encounter.
The practical training will be supervised, evaluated and varied. Supervision and evaluation of students in practical training is a shared area of responsibility for the subject teachers in teacher training.
