The pedagogical practice is carried out in accordance with the procedure determined by the Regulations on the organization and conduct of pedagogical practice of graduate students of the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design.

Pedagogical practice in the higher education system is a component of professional training for scientific and pedagogical activities in a higher education institution and is a type of practical activity of graduate students, including teaching special disciplines, organizing students' educational and cognitive activities, scientific and methodological work in disciplines, developing skills and abilities of practical teaching.

Practical training of higher education applicants is a mandatory component of the educational process, which aims to master pedagogical technologies, innovative forms, methods and means of teaching in the conditions of a higher education institution, to realize the importance of scientific knowledge gained in the process of theoretical training, to develop the ability to solve practical problems, to develop creative initiative and motivation for pedagogical activity.

The content of the pedagogical practice of higher education students includes: attending practical (laboratory, seminar) classes and lectures of teachers of the department or University and their analysis; drawing up detailed plans and notes of practical (laboratory, seminar) classes, lectures and their conduct; organizing and conducting educational activities with students (in a group, at the faculty, in a dormitory).
