The student is introduced to the activities and the organisation of the school by spending a longer period at a school (corresponding to 9 ECTS). Under supervision, the student participates in the school activities, mainly through teaching and auscultation, but also through participation in other activities such as meetings and conferences. The focus for the teaching should lie on practical work and labs in the teaching of technical and scientific fields. Subjects taught and the type of school should be relevant for the student's future higher education qualification.
The course also includes lectures, seminars and written assignments. The course implies integrating theory and practice based on acquired experiences, relevant subject-specific and didactic knowledge, and systematic reflection.
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1. under supervision, plan, carry out, evaluate and develop lessons with a focus on practical work and labs, based on relevant knowledge in technology and/or scientific subjects,
2. communicate through listening, speaking and writing in a way suitable and appropriate for the school context,
3. observe and analyse pupils' learning, including the preconditions for learning, in relation to the aim of the activities in general, and in particular regarding practical work and labs,
4. approach pupils and school staff in various situations with empathy, respect and a professional approach, in accordance with the fundamental values of the school, and identify and discuss their own values and attitudes that may affect their approach,
5. discuss how equality, equal opportunities, sustainable development and ethics can be included in the educational activities in general, and in technology and scientific subjects in particular,
6. identify, describe and analyse their own strengths and areas of improvement before the next school placement in order to develop skills that are valuable for the professional practice.
