4. - Structure and content of the study programme
a) - The institution describes the rules for the design of study plans within the study programme.

The Primary Teacher Education study program is an integral part of the Teacher Training and Education Science major. It provides the master's education necessary for employment in the field of educational theory and practice.

For each subject of the submitted study program, we describe in detail the specific forms of education, its criteria and the necessary objectives, which are also included in the course descriptions.

The student of the study program prepares his/her own study plan in the context of fulfilling the requirements of the study program, or fully fulfilling them and obtaining the required minimum number of credits, in which he/she completes the compulsory subjects and chooses from compulsory and optional subjects. In order to increase the proportion of participants in Erasmus+ mobility, we have included the optional subject called Foreign Studies in the study plan of the study program.


From the second semester of the study, the student is obliged to undergo observational (PPX5), continuous exit (PPX6) and permanent exit (PPX7) pedagogical practice at the primary school. The student receives 9 credits for the pedagogical practice subjects. The student has the opportunity to develop practical pedagogical skills in the framework of the optional subjects Pedagogical tolls, Professional Training and Volunteering, helping activities.

Pairs of compulsory optional subjects serve to develop the same competencies. We identify them with the same number and distinguish them with the letters a, b. Among the subjects marked with the letters a and b, students choose one according to their preferences.

During the course of their studies, students have the opportunity to choose from alternative course offerings: Methodology of nature school / Methodology of the basics of swimming education. During the duration of the courses, students will undergo practical teaching, according to the nature of the selected course, and will present didactic skills in the implementation of the learning content.


The study is completed by an oral state examination for which the student receives 6 credits and by the defence of the final thesis for which the student receives 8 credits. 

b) - The institution compiles the recommended study plans for individual study paths.

Following the harmonization of the Primary Teacher Education study program, newly admitted students will begin their studies at the beginning of the next academic year according to the harmonized program, while second- and third-year students continue to study according to the original recommended curriculum and courses for which they were admitted.

The study plan is available in the JSU Academic Information System.
