Introduction

Teacher Education of Education for Upper Secondary Schools

Studies primarily aim at the development of professional, pedagogical and psychological, communication, and other personal and cultivation competencies needed to become a teacher of pedagogy at secondary vocational schools and for other educational and coordination activities in the field of education. Apart from the intensification of professional scientific bases of pedagogical disciplines (following the contents of the bachelor studies), the aim is at the didactics of education and at the application of professional didactic competencies in teaching practice. The special focus is on the methodology of pedagogical research because one of the objectives is to make pedagogy teachers proficient among other things in proposing, implementing, and evaluating empirical research in the field of education. The focus in the study program is also put on knowledge and skills in the field of social education, social work, and the methodology of these phenomena. Students have their teaching practice in schools, school facilities; but also, in social service facilities.

Teacher Education of Music for Lower and Upper Secondary Schools

The study program follows on from the bachelor's study program Music Education with a focus on education.

The aim of the study program is to provide its graduates with a comprehensive master's degree, which will prepare them for the profession of music teacher at the 2nd level of primary and secondary schools. The study program takes into account the proportionality of the cognitive, didactic, and pedagogical-psychological components of the training, while the field knowledge gained in the bachelor's degree is further systematized and applied in the field of didactics and professional subjects closely related to it. Graduates of the study program are competent to independently create school educational programs in the educational field of Arts and Culture. They are ready to teach music education with all its aspects in the field of knowledge and skills. The study program builds on creative activities in the field of music education and its didactics. The field component is focused on a deeper understanding of music education issues, which is reflected in the teaching of music education in primary and secondary schools. Musical phenomena and concepts are presented in a broader context and relationships between different types of science and art. The music didactic component is based on the knowledge gained in music pedagogical research and on best practices verified in practice. The music theory and pedagogical component can then be deepened in a doctoral study program, e.g. Music Theory and Pedagogy.

The study program in the major plan respects the balance of subject, didactic and pedagogical-psychological components of training according to the standards of teacher training of the Ministry of Education. Pedagogical-psychological training includes subjects of pedagogy, psychology, and special pedagogy, including pedagogical-psychological practice.
