In course of one practice day, the activities will take place during 4- 8 hours (36 hours in total during the teaching practice).

On the basis of lesson observations and carried out tasks, the student will analyse their own actions and their fellow students actions and effect on the learner. Feedback and the analysis of theory and practice is done in the educational science and subject didactics courses following the practice days.
