Abstract

The establishment of a good atmosphere in class is achieved through the interconnection of subjects and creative activities with children, which affects the motivation and development of the key learning competences, in order for them to better understand the world around them. Therefore, the cooperation between institutions makes the planning and accomplishment of the student educators’ practice possible, allowing them to become aware of their work with children during their studies. The analysis of the students’ work remains an important process during the receiving of theoretical information. It is also important in the accomplishment of their practice in preschool institutions and pre-primary classes within schools in order to motivate the children to learn. This study emphasizes the work of student educators in the following two courses: (1) Theory of Learning Through Practice and (2) Pedagogical Practice for the planning and realization of different activities in cooperation with the educators in the preschool institutions and pre-primary classes. Hence, we think that the interconnection between theory and practice greatly affects the creative work of students in the motivation and development of the children. The study analysis is based on the analysis of classwork records, portfolios, presentations and researches of the student educators of the AAB College. The practice is carried out in preschool institutions and pre-primary classes during a fifteen-week period by the second-year and fourth-year students of Social Sciences of the academic year 2017/2018.
