Master's Degree in Teacher Training for ESO and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching
The Practicum Module consists of 21 credits and includes the internship (15 credits) and the master's or degree final project (6 credits).
Internships (15 credits): With the advent of the EHEA, the methodological change of teaching aimed at achieving competences is consolidated. And since competences are linked to the field of action, to the adequate resolution of tasks in context, the specific competences linked to the profession of teacher of Compulsory Secondary Education, Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching, will be linked to the adequate performance of tasks in teaching contexts, and their development must inevitably be built by the active and reflective participation of the future teacher in a school.
Thus, the objective of the Internship is the professional development of teachers and the acquisition of general and disciplinary teaching skills, referring to the reference knowledge specific to their specialization.
On the other hand, the Internships aim to develop skills related to the professional knowledge of the specialty, those of the educational institution, and in professional centers also those linked to knowing the business typology of the different productive sectors.
The internships must provide students with the opportunity to develop the skills related to acquiring experience in planning teaching and assessing the subjects corresponding to their specialization, to demonstrate a good command of oral and written expression in teaching practice, to master the social skills and abilities necessary to foster a climate that facilitates learning and coexistence, and to participate in proposals for improvement in the different areas of expansion based on reflection based on practice.
