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. The practical teacher training consists of 15 hours in a classroom, 2 hours of SIL training, and 120 minutes of guidance.

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 takes place in authentic professional classroom contexts. As part of their practical training within the study programme, student teachers will carry out their teaching practicum both in lower and upper secondary school, for grades 8-10 and grades 11-13, respectively. Student teachers with an academic background from common core subjects will will do their teaching practicum in both vocational and general secondary school programmes.

During Practical teacher training 1, the student will gain 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.
