Abstract:

At international level, there is a growing emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches in public education. Therefore we believe that it is essential that this tendency is reflected in teacher education. In an international project „Poly-Universe in Teacher Training Education” supported by the EU we have worked out special methodological courses to emphasize this view. In our lecture, we give an overview of the project and an example with the introduction of a tool-based methodological course developed in international cooperation and its analysis. In our research, we examine the impact of the courses developed during the academic year 2021/22 and tested in several partner institutions on the motivation of students. The courses were attended by students studying in various areas of teacher training on a scale ranging from kindergarten teacher, special education teacher training to secondary school teacher training. After presenting the objectives, the structure of the course, and the activities of the students, we would like to present the analysis of the feedback from the motivation questionnaires and the conclusions that can be drawn from it.
