Inter­de­part­men­tal Ped­a­gog­i­cal Course, headed by Senior Lec­turer Katarzyna Dudek-Kostrzewa. This unit is respon­si­ble for teach­ing ped­a­gog­i­cal sub­jects to senior stu­dents of all the depart­ments of the FCUM. These sub­jects are optional and are free of charge for FCUM students.

Every stu­dent who applies to the Ped­a­gog­i­cal Course unit is reg­is­tered and is given a credit sheet in which every suc­cess­fully com­pleted sub­ject and exam­i­na­tion is documented.

In accor­dance with the require­ments of the Min­istry of Cul­ture and Fine Arts the Ped­a­gog­i­cal Course unit teaches the fol­low­ing subjects:

• psy­chol­ogy: 60 hours of lec­tures (one year, 2 hours a week) and 30 hours of sem­i­nars (half a year 2 hours a week)
• ped­a­gogy: 60 hours of lec­tures (one year, 2 hours a week) and 30 hours of sem­i­nars (half a year 2 hours a week)
• teach­ing meth­ods: 60 hours of lec­tures (one year, 2 hours a week) and 30 hours of sem­i­nars (half a year 2 hours a week)
• mul­ti­me­dia stud­ies: 60 hours of lectures
• 150 hours of teach­ing prac­tice at schools.

This adds up to 90 hours of psy­chol­ogy, 90 hours of ped­a­gogy, 60 hours of teach­ing meth­ods, 60 hours of mul­ti­me­dia and 150 hours of teach­ing practice.

Stu­dents have their whole term at the Uni­ver­sity to com­plete this Course, the only reser­va­tion being that they must take the lec­tures in their first year and only then can they take the sem­i­nars, method of teach­ing and teach­ing prac­tice (which gives at least 2 years).

Grad­u­ates of Ped­a­gog­i­cal Course obtain a teacher’s cer­tifi­cate in their selected spe­cial­ity. This gives them full teach­ing qual­i­fi­ca­tions (which are also recog­nised abroad) and enti­tles them to higher pay if they work as teach­ers. Accord­ing to the pro­vi­sions of the recent Edu­ca­tional Reform per­sons who do not have appro­pri­ate and doc­u­mented ped­a­gog­i­cal qual­i­fi­ca­tions shall not be employed as school teachers.
