Class Traineeship I

The course unit Internship I is part of the Master's in Teaching Informatics, within the scientific area of Introduction to Professional Practice (IPP), taught in the 1st semester of the 2nd year, together with Internship II. It aims to immerse the future Informatics teacher in professional teaching practice, at a cooperating school, throughout the academic year, supervised by the University's guidance teacher and the school's cooperating supervisor. It focuses on participation in curricular and non-curricular activities, understanding the legal framework of teaching duties, carrying out supervised teaching activities, collaborating on lesson plans and assessment instruments, and the initial development of digital teaching competence in light of DigCompEdu. As an immersion course, it forms the central core of supervised teaching practice in the study cycle.
