Annotation -
The course is intended for students of chemistry teaching in combination with another field (major and minor). As part of the course, students encounter real teaching practice for the first time by attending chemistry lessons at a selected (faculty) school for one to two weeks and observing ongoing teaching, as well as other activities related to teaching practice. If the organization of the lessons and agreement with the teacher allow, they actively participate in teaching - either in the form of tandem teaching or independent work with the class. This gives them their first experience of teaching and class management and helps them build their professional identity.
Students usually complete this practice in small groups so that they can discuss their experiences at school together. Throughout the program, students are supervised by a faculty teacher who, after lesson, discusses various pedagogical and didactic aspects with the students in a so-called analysis lesson. The faculty school allows teacher training students to attend chemistry lessons with several chemistry teachers so that students can gain a more vivid idea of the possibilities of teaching, i.e., different teaching styles.
The course includes all documents and materials in the Classroom named Observation Practice 2025/26 (bi, che), where students also submit the required outputs.

Requirements to the exam -

It is essential to attend 10 chemistry lessons or chemistry lab sessions (9 lessons + 1 lab session recommended) at a selected high school, secondary school, and/or elementary school.

Active participation in chemistry lessons: one presentation in front of the class, in agreement with the faculty/accompanying teacher, in the form of tandem teaching with the teacher, with a classmate, or independently. The presentation is not limited in any way – it can be one or more teaching activities or a longer part of a lesson.

Taking notes during observations, analyzing and discussing lessons with faculty teachers after the observations. Submitting the notes for review after the observation practice by the head of teaching practice in chemistry at KUDCH.
Submitting a completed form - list of observed lessons: one form for the entire group. Discussion after the end of observations with the head of teaching practice in chemistry at KUDCH. 
Credit will be awarded after completing the observation practice and fulfilling all obligations in the credit week.

Requirements:
(1) participation in an introductory meeting and (2) a meeting to reflect on video observations (before practical training)
(3) submission of forms with records of hours observed (for the whole group)
(4) observation of 10 teaching units
(5) submission of 10 observation records

(6) submission of materials (description + any aids) for own output

(7) reflection on the practice (including the benefits of the practice, problems): joint meeting with the guarantor of teaching practice for chemistry + (8) written report/essay, approx. 1/2 A4 in length

In an emergency during the course of study, it is possible to complete video observations in chemistry classes or fulfill the practice in another way. However, students must always consult with the practice supervisor.

Syllabus -

The observing teaching practice consists of three parts: before and after the practice students have a meeting with the supervisor of the practice for chemistry and the core part of the course consists of visiting the chemistry classes at the selected faculty school. These tutorials take place in groups (4-5 students together) with one or more chemistry teachers at the school.

Students' activities at the faculty school: students hospitalize in chemistry classes and then conduct a lesson analysis with the faculty teacher, where they consult individual steps or phenomena of the lesson based on the notes of the lesson observation.

The record of the hospitalization, the record must include: the header (name of the student, subject, school, name of the faculty teacher, class, date); the topic; the objective of the lesson; the organizational form(s); the course and organization of the lesson (professional content of the lesson, activities of the students, activities of the teacher); the evaluation of the lesson (work and activities of the students, the teacher, the fulfillment of the objective of the lesson, own comments on the activity of the students and the creativity of the teacher).

The meeting with the supervisor of the practice, which precedes and follows the actual hospitalizations at the faculty school, provides space first for a joint discussion of what phenomena the students should observe during the auditions, and after the practice they again discuss their observations, impressions, tips and objections. Reflection on the teaching practice, even if it is a listening practice, is an important part and preparation for the actual teaching practice in the following academic year.

------------

In the event of an emergency during the course of study, it is possible to take video tutorials in chemistry classes or otherwise complete the practicum. However, students must always make arrangements with the practicum supervisor.
