Organizing The Pedagogical Practice of Final Year Students In The Pandemic Context

Abstract

The qualification of the students of the Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education specialization is a teacher for primary education/ teacher for preschool education. The professional competencies of the students of our specialization refer to: the management of the instructive-educational process and of its specific activities in primary and preschool education and to the management of the class of students and the group of preschoolers. The discipline or disciplines that correspond the closest to these competencies are the disciplines of Pedagogical Practice (observational and teaching practice). The pedagogical teaching practice ensures the students' familiarity with the specifics of the didactic activities in primary education, facilitating the practical application of their knowledge regarding the methodological stages of carrying out activities specific to the instructive-educational process in primary education. The purpose of this discipline is to offer students the opportunity to practice the application of teaching principles and methods specific to teaching activities in primary education. The question we tried to answer through this endeavour was how to effectively organize, in the current pandemic context, the pedagogical practice of students? The solution found was to move even the students’ teaching practice in the online environment.
