The student studies independently as a trainee teacher, i.e. teaches lessons (not 8 hours a week), which involves the preparation of practical lesson outlines; the student discusses with the subject teacher(s) and the subject methodologist(s). The student performs the tasks assigned by the subject methodologist(s). If possible, organizes and conducts a subject-related event. The student submits the practice folder to the subject teacher(s), the subject methodologist(s) and the head methodologist of the department. The student attends the prescribed number of lessons in his specialty and prepares written observation-listening notes for each observed lesson, which he submits to the subject teacher/methodologist during the lessons or the following days and adds them to the practice folder. The synopsis must contain information about the lesson conducted by the teacher according to the prescribed scheme. The student prepares lesson outlines, which he submits to the subject teacher and the subject methodologist at least 2 days before the corresponding lesson. As an intern-teacher, the student plans and conducts at least one subject-related event (excursion, study trip, etc.).
