Course content
Prior to the excursion, students, under the guidance of the instructor, prepare an excursion plan by defining its thematic focus and conducting preliminary research related to the topic of the excursion. During the excursion, students work on the assigned topic, analyzing, evaluating, and reflecting on the teaching and educational program of the selected institution. They examine the pedagogical foundations and objectives of the program. Through professional discussions, they explore the opportunities and challenges of implementing the School Educational Program. The outcomes of the excursion are presented during a reflection session as part of an evaluation seminar conducted after the excursion. This session serves as a platform for students to share their insights, evaluate their findings, and discuss implications for primary education practices.
