Course content

The course is part of the professional education courses in the 5-year-integrated master study programmes for teacher education, and is one of four practical teacher training courses within the programme. It is comprised of 15 classroom hours, 2 hours of SIL, and 120 minutes of guidance. It makes up 10 of the total 100 days of internship throughout the study. The field of practical training is considered an important arena for learning and it emphasizes connections between theory and experience.
All practical training is supervised and mentored, and occurs in authentic occupational situations with pupils in a classroom. As part of their training, the students will go to a middle school program from 8th through 10th grade, as well as a secondary high school program from grades 11 to 13. Students with an academic background in common core subjects will visit different study programs
-- both vocational and general -- as part of their practice.
In practical teacher training 1 the student will gain excellent teaching experience through systematic observation and communication with students and teachers. This course places emphasis on the classroom as an arena for academic, social, and democratic learning.
