Class Traineeship II

The course unit Internship II is part of the Master's in Teaching Informatics, within the scientific area of Introduction to Professional Practice (IPP), taught in the 2nd semester of the 2nd year, together with Internship I. It aims to immerse the future Informatics teacher in professional teaching practice, at a cooperating school, throughout the academic year. It focuses on autonomous supervised teaching in two subjects, drawing up and adapting lesson plans, resources and assessment instruments, identifying situations requiring special attention, and consolidating digital teaching competence through planning, implementing and evaluating didactic sequences in light of DigCompEdu. It culminates in the Supervised Teaching Practice Report (STPR) and the final internship portfolio, forming the capstone of the study cycle's practical training.
