Continuous subject specific teaching practice with reflection is focused mainly on individual students’ teaching performance and its reflection with specific attention paid to the age of lower secondary school pupils. It consists of several basic stages: familiarization od students with selected school as an institution including relevant curricular documents and classes of individual students’ mentors through observation; own teaching performance in mentor’s classes, both in cooperation with mentor or with a classmate and individually. Students will also realize mutual observations. After the teaching practice, there will be a reflective phase. An integral part of the teaching practice will be a recording of a selected lesson and its reflection.
