Class Introduction to Professional Practice II

All the CU of the master's programme form a coherent whole and share some common objectives, in particular, the CU "Initiation to Professional Practice", "Didactics of Computer Science", "Research in the Didactics of Computer Science" and "Curriculum Development”. In the CU “Initiation to Professional Practice” there is a progression of familiarization with professional practices, from the most general aspects to the more specific ones, namely those that are directly related to the teaching of Informatics and with the functions of the teacher of Informatics.
