K problému teorie a praxe v pedagogice

The paper builds on the criticism of students in teacher education programmes who call for greater emphasis on practice. The relationship between theory and practice is ancient issue, but it still holds currency today. Key terms are defined and its philosophical background is explained. Different approaches to the relationship between theory and practice are introduced that were formulated in the history of pedagogy; special emphasis is laid on the perspective of the theory of education. Based on the review of these different approaches, the connection of theory and practice in teacher education is discussed. Towards the end, a modern conception of teacher education is proposed.
