TTM implemented from the first degree of CHEMISTRY

Students of all specialisations, may declare their intention to pursue an optional teacher education module during recruitment or semester 1 (by mid-November). The classes included in the module start from semester 2 and continue throughout all five semesters of the first degree programme, and then continue into the second degree programme. Upon completion of the second degree programme in CHEMISTRY, students who have passed the entire teacher education module become qualified to teach chemistry in all types of schools.

Completion of the teacher training module in the first degree programme in CHEMISTRY without continuation in the second degree programme in CHEMISTRY does not confer eligibility to teach chemistry in all types of schools, but the block of pedagogical-psychological subjects is fully completed and can be recognised by other universities/universities implementing the teacher training programme.

The teacher training module on the CHEMISTRY degree programme is in line with the latest teacher training standards given in the REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF SCIENCE AND HIGHER EDUCATION of 25 July 2019 on the standard of education preparing for the teaching profession (sub-appendix).

The courses included in the module comprise a total of 560 hours, including 150 hours of chemistry didactics and 120 hours of subject practice in school. The module is allocated a total of 35 ECTS credits. A block of pedagogical-psychological subjects is implemented in the first degree programme, in semester 6 the training in preparation for teaching chemistry begins, which is continued in the second degree programme. Successful completion of all classes and internships included in the module additionally entitles graduates to practice as chemistry teachers in all types of schools.
