Course description The course "Pedagogy and pedagogical skills" aims at building prospective teachers’ professional and pedagogical competence. The discipline explores the major categories of pedagogy, its principles, methods, and technologies; it also aims at building basic skills for conducting classes. Special attention is paid to doing pedagogical tasks, practical assignments, training activities, reflection, and independent work which engages students in writing a critical essay, designing a collage, and interactive multimedia talk. The course is comprised of two modules: Basics of pedagogy (1) and Didactics, theory of education, and teacher pedagogical skills. In Term 1 the summative assessment is a pass/fail credit, in Term Two it is an exam.

Classroom activities and teaching techniques The course combines such formats of instruction as lectures, practical sessions, and independent work. The major activities that engage students and provide evidence to assess their performance are answers at practical sessions, creative work, and an end-of-course test paper. For the performance in these activities in Term 1, a student can score max. 100 points, in term 2 - max. 60 and min. 36 points. A detailed description of activities and formative assessment is presented in the course curriculum posted on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment The course ends with an exam administered in Term 2. The term total score is based on the 100-point grading scheme. It is composed of the scores earned during the coursework in the term (maximum 60 points, minimum 36 points) and the scores for the summative assessment – exam (maximum 40 points, minimum 24 points). The formative assessment considers answers at practical sessions, a presentation (20 points), practical assignments (10 points), creative work (10 points), and an end-of-the-course test paper (20 points). Summative assessment is a written exam consisting of three tasks differing in complexity: task 1 is allotted 10 points, and tasks 2 and 3 are allotted 15 points each. A detailed account of all criteria to assess teaching/learning activities in the course is presented in the course curriculum posted on the website of Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
