Information on the cobinized 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 3 consists mainly of independent pedagogical practice, in which the student applies and actually verifies the knowledge and skills acquired from the Didactics and Methodology MST class, with which it is closely linked. The pedagogical practice is professionally consulted with the teacher of the subject.

In the role of 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 in individuals, and accepting 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.

A required component of the MST 3 Teaching Seminar is the student's active participation in a minimum of one recommended contemporary dance workshop of at least 5 hours organized by another institution.

Topics:

Intention and process of teaching

Objectives and structure
The main didactic principles of a contemporary dance technique class

Movement theme (ways of working with the theme of the lesson)

Dance phrases

Evaluation methods and criteria

Credit is awarded on the basis of a discussion of a video recording of a practical lesson taught at the selected institution and a scored analysis of the lesson, which also evaluates its effectiveness. It includes a written evaluation from active participation in a recommended festival or a field discussion of 2-3 pages, which is part of the student's portfolio, and the elaboration of the assigned tasks (continuous written reflection, presentation of the created lesson/assignment, continuous corrections, explication of the principles and meanings for the technical and artistic growth of students of a given movement and dance level.)

Other requirements: 100% attendance, activity in class.

Note

Teaching combines monological, applied, interactive teaching methods, encourages self-study in non-contact learning and student's critical thinking. The student is encouraged to create his/her own portfolio based on the acquisition of his/her own experience and skills.

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 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 discussed in the third semester, sharing this knowledge and confronting it with the teacher and with other students in contact teaching
