Professional teaching activities from the perspectives of teacher students, teachers and subject didacticians

On the basis of a questionnaire – based enquiry the empirical study compares assesment of difficulties of executed professional teaching activities by three groups of subjects at once (student teachers’selfesteem, assessment of students by supervising teachers, assessment of students by subject didacticians). The research was realized in the finishing grade of studies at the Faculty of education of the Technical university of Liberec (the academic year 2007/08) after the finishing of rounded initial teacher training in a lower secondary education. Student teachers’ selfesteeming statements confirmed mostly the trend of students’ statements from previous years. The assessment of students by subject didacticians has become more critical than the assessment of supervising teachers. The time management of a subject matter and some activities that consist with problems of pupils’ discipline were the mostly difficult managed professional teaching activities in all the three assessing groups’ estimation; on the contrary the communication with pupils was assessed as the least difficult.
