WORK PLACEMENTS
Work placements serve to develop skills related to designing course programmes and syllabi, delivering classes, and peer observation. Work placements are carried out under the supervision of the supervisor or supervisors at higher education institutions (as a rule, at ChAT).
In the first year, placements may be carried out in the form of participation in the supervisor’s or supervisors’ teaching classes, or in other classes indicated by them. The doctoral student learns to plan classes and prepare syllabi.
In the second year of education, work placements consist not only of participation in teaching classes, but primarily of classes co-taught with the supervisor (supervisors) and classes taught by the doctoral student under the supervision of, and observed by, the supervisor (supervisors).
From the third year onwards, doctoral students independently and under the supervision of the supervisor (supervisors) prepare and conduct teaching classes (regularly observed by the supervisor/supervisors).
Work placements are assessed by the supervisor and documented in a placement logbook, which is submitted to the secretariat (ChAT Rector’s Office / Faculty of Theology Dean’s Office) by 15 July of each academic year.
