Martin ČIHÁK

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

The course aim is to support the teaching abilities of the film students and graduates oriented toward formal and informal education. Film/Audio-visual education is sporadically taught in Czech schools. There are no certified teachers. We wish to change this situation.

Mode of study:

Individual lecturers will present inspiring examples and case studies of their work at the colloquium. Students will be able to ask their own questions at the end - during the round-table. The class will develop through discussion and partial presentations by individual students.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

For course credit students are required to comple the Filmmaker - Instructor (1.12, HAMU gallery) and Filmmaker - Instructor (8.12, FAMU, Editing Dept) colloquia. Prior to completing the classes students, via email, preparatory information.

Course contents:

Film education is a course whose introduction into Czech schools has be discussed since the 1960s. Throughout the 50 years it has continually returned to one topic. Who is to be taught? Instructors do not have a film education and filmmakers no teaching education. We wish to bring this to light in the context of considerations of introducing teaching minimums for FAMU students.

The module is comprised of two parts: a colloquium and classes. During the colloquium FAMU representatives, guest academics and some members of the Association for Film and Audio-visual Education will be presented. Students will be introduced to the approach of individual institutions for supporting teaching all students and graduates. The classes will discuss various issues. We wish to gain feedback to the ideas of introducing teaching minimums and assist students to use their particular know-how in the teaching process. Film research and Education Faculty students also attend the module providing for inter-disciplinary discussions. Registered students will recieve prior to completion instructions for preparation.
