Teaching and Facilitation Practice II (5op)

Osaamistavoitteet (Opintojakso)

During the teaching and facilitation practice the teacher students maintain and develop their own strengths and recognise the areas which require improvement as teachers and facilitators. The practice utilises the theoretical viewpoints for teaching and facilitation covered during teacher education. A teacher’s work consists of teaching and facilitation as well as meeting diverse types of learners. Teaching and facilitation practice consists of planning, implementing, facilitating, assessment and evaluation of teaching.
