Course aims

To develop the ability to design a safe and learning-supportive educational process that considers the diversity of the classroom, aligns with set learning objectives and evidence-based pedagogy, and fosters learners' growth into independent and competent learners.

Brief description of the course

We work on analyzing and adapting the learning process that supports learning in an inclusive classroom through practical exercises, based on different contemporary core theories. Aspiring teachers practice cognitive empathy and the desire to understand learners, training in scientific analysis and planning of the learning process. The focus of the subject is on the following core practices:
I setting learning goals and planning the corresponding learning process (including setting clear learning goals and expectations; designing and sequencing instruction; assessing and reacting to students' understanding and knowledge; applying evidence-based teaching strategies in an inclusive classroom);
II developing students' self-regulation and metacognitive skills (including explaining and modeling content, practices, and strategies; providing scaffolding for student learning; supporting student reflection and self-assessment; teaching students to use metacognitive strategies);
III implementing an assessment process that supports learning (including analyzing learning outcomes and adapting the learning process; providing feedback to guide learning).

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- can design the learning process, setting clear and achievable learning outcomes and structuring learning activities according to these outcomes and learners' needs;
- can use evidence-based teaching strategies to support learners' active participation and inclusive teaching;
- can implement learning-supportive assessment, analyzing students' understanding and adjusting teaching based on received feedback;
- can support learners' self-regulation and metacognitive skills, modeling and guiding conscious learning;
