Information on the combined form:
The course is taught in a combined form of contact and non-contact teaching in a ratio of about 1:4, i.e. 40 hours of distance learning,
10 hours of face-to-face contact per semester.
The content of the course Pedagogical Seminar Modern and Contemporary Dance 1 consists mainly of independent pedagogical practice, in which the student applies and actually verifies the knowledge and skills acquired from the Didactics and Methodology of Modern and Contemporary Dance class, with which it is closely linked. The pedagogical practice is professionally consulted with the teacher of the subject.
In the role of a teacher, the student must be mindful of the principles of accurate explanation, use of professional terminology, adequate choice of methods and methods of assessment, solving specific problems for individuals, and must accept responsibility for preparation for teaching. Their written reflection teaches the student to clearly articulate the main principles, questions, as well as their opinions and attitudes.

Distance contact will be provided:
- phone, email, video calls
- through group platforms for communication between students (social networks, internet, apps,
moodle, etc.)
The student's independent work within the contactless learning consists of:
- application of specific methodological knowledge based on the topics covered in their own pedagogical practice
- training of teaching in verbal expression, musical assignment, demonstration, professional correction
- making recordings and notes of the lesson for subsequent discussion
- scoring analysis of a lesson prepared for credit and evaluation of its effectiveness
- a written evaluation of an actively completed modern or contemporary dance workshop of 2-3 pages, which will be reported orally during the credit hour
- searching for and collecting professional information from recommended and other literature related to the topics covered in the third semester, sharing this knowledge and confronting it with the teacher and with other students in contact teaching
