“…However, studies on practicum have mostly focused on student teachers' views and the difficulties they encounter in practice (Aslan & Saglam, 2018;Batmaz & Ergen, 2020;Caires & Almeida, 2005;Gürbüztürk &Çalış, 2019;Kakazu & Kobayashi, 2022;Koc, 2012;Koc & Yıldız, 2012;Mirici & Ölmez-Çağlar, 2017;Nayır & Çınkır, 2014;Ünver & Kurşunlu, 2014). To strengthen the bridge between theory and practice, studies that support student teachers' teaching skills and professional development through practicum (Chen, Tseng, & Wu, 2022;König, Bremerich-Vos, Buchholtz, & Glutsch, 2020;Sevimli-Celik, 2021;Stenberg, Rajala, & Hilppo, 2016) and studies that show the importance of reflection in a teaching practicum, are increasing (Maaranen & Stenberg, 2017).…”

The process of learning and teaching involves the organization of the interaction among teachers, students, and content. The focus of this study was to enable the student teachers’ experience of deliberate practice to improve their organization of specific content and develop practice skills in classroom environments. This study, which adopted a holistic single-case method, examined fourth-year student classroom teachers’ content organization skills in a teaching practicum course. The study was conducted with 11 fourth-year student teachers, who were attending a teaching practicum course, and data were collected through an open-ended test, a semi-structured interview form, and lesson plans. The student teachers were provided with four weeks of training on the components of concepts and generalizations, and with information selecting-organizing-integrating (SOI) techniques. The participants were asked to prepare lesson plans and implement them in the classroom environment. Over six weeks, the researchers provided the participants with feedback and corrections for the lesson plans they prepared. The findings showed that the participants could not reflect the SOI techniques and the components of the concept and generalization in the lesson plans they prepared at the desired level. When the findings from this study were evaluated, we can state that organizing the content in lesson plans and the application of it is indeed a challenging process for student teachers. To efficiently carry out the said task, they need effective and well-structured support from teacher educators.

Under conditions of fulfillment of the basic requirements of organic production, there is a threat of crop loss, auxiliary products can be used, if they are allowed for use in organic production. These are substances listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No. 889/2008) and/or ready-made commercial forms (auxiliary products) approved by the certification body.Therefore, the main goal of our research was to determine the most effective auxiliary products in organic production for growing corn for grain.The research was conducted in 2019-2022 on the basis of the Training Production Center (TPC) of the Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University (BNAU).The soil under the test is typical chernozem. Agrochemical characteristics of the soil: humus (according to the Tyurin and Kononova method) -3.4%, easily hydrolyzed nitrogen (according to the Kornfield method) -110, mobile compounds of phosphorus and potassium (according to the Chirikov method) -120 and 110 mg/kg of soil, respectively. The studied hybrid Ostrech SV. The scheme of the experiment provides: No treatment (control) Spraying during the growing season (starting with 3 leaves three times during the growing season with an interval of 10-12 SE "Avatar organic"); Intensive technology" Intensive technology + "Avatar organic". The product "Avatar Organic" contains micro-and ultra-microelements necessary for plants that are part of the microelement complex in the form of nanoparticles chelated with natural organic acids -citric, succinic, malic, tartaric and their mixtures. This auxiliary product is included in the List of pesticides and agrochemicals allowed for use in Ukraine, as well as in the List of auxiliary products for use in organic production, taking into account the requirements of the standard of international accredited certification bodies for organic production and processing, which is equivalent to EU regulations No. 834/2007 and No. 889/2008. So, as a result of the research conducted in 2019-2022, the yield of corn per grain in the control variants was at the level of 5.9 t/ha. The use of auxiliary product "Avatar organic" helped to increase the crop yield to 6.20 t/ha. With the use of intensive corn cultivation technology, the yield level was fixed at 8.32 t/ha. With the use of "Avatar Organic" in this technology, the yield level increased to 8.65 t/ha. It should be noted the positive effect of the auxiliary product "Avatar Organic" for conducting organic production, where the average yield level for 2019-2022 increased by 0.30 t/ha, compared to the control variants.

“…According to Kakazu and Kobayashi's (2023) research findings, practical teaching experience can assist pre-service teachers in understanding how vital it is to gain the information and abilities required to operate as a teacher before joining the industry. According to Zhu et al (2022), teaching practicum can improve pre-service teachers' transformational perceptions of their roles as teachers, expand their professional knowledge, solve problems in building good relationships with students, and help them form their professional identity.…”

Teaching practicum provides an opportunity for pre-service teachers to enhance their teaching skills. This study utilized a qualitative phenomenological design method to investigate the role of teaching practice in enhancing the instructional skills of pre-service English teachers at the elementary school level. Three pre-service English teachers participated in the study. Data were collected from the participants through reflections on their teaching practicum experiences. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers initially experienced strong emotions and assumptions when they began teaching, yet the quality of their teaching improved during the practice. Teaching practicum was further identified as an effective means to enhance the teaching skills of pre-service English teachers.
