Brief description of the course

The organisation of Teacher Training Practice I and course content have been linked to the educational science courses of the teacher training programme, such as KAT7054.HR and KAT7052.HR, and subject didactics studies. Training practice takes place during the autumn semester for six days in the partner schools of Tallinn University and in professional placement institutions connected to the university. The integrated tasks and their analysis will take place in the educational science courses of the teacher training programme. In the course Teacher Training Practice I, the student will practise the skills acquired in the educational science courses. Training practice tasks will focus on the following subjects: 1. Shaping the study environment to support the social, emotional and cognitive development of students. 2. Planning, implementing and analysing the study process based on the study programme. During training practice, the activities will take 3 hours per day (18 hours in total). The student will complete various observational tasks.
