Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to apply the current knowledge of psychology specifically to the practice of the school environment and to develop professional readiness for the future teaching profession with new knowledge. During the course, the student will understand how contemporary pedagogical psychology describes the mechanisms of learning, its regularities, types, course and conditions under which it takes place, while the emphasis is placed on the possibility of improving the quality of these educational processes by understanding the context. At the same time, within school psychology, a large part of the attention will be paid to the school environment, including the emotional and behavioral problems of pupils that interfere with the school educational process. An inseparable part of the subject will be the role of the class teacher, the school and classroom climate, which are an inherent condition for school success and quality of education.
