Promoting Practice-Oriented Training of Primary School Teachers in Bachelor’s Programmes in Educational Psychology
The paper considers possible examples of promoting practice-oriented training of primary school teachers studying natural sciences and mathematics in the bachelor’s programme in Educational Psychology. The key to making theoretical education more practically oriented is hidden in the part of learning activity where the sensual form of object is transformed into the model; where the most important characteristics of the object become recognized; and where the model undergoes certain transformations for the general laws of phenomenon to become revealed. The paper provides some examples of how students can possibly work out the principles of symmetry in diagnostic tasks for primary school children as well as analyse set-theoretic concepts in mathematical tasks for primary schools.
