Summary/Abstract: The practical use and consolidation of acquired theoretical methodological-didactic and psychological-pedagogical knowledge are the key elements of teacher education. The article’s aim is to analyse the forms and methods of developing the competences of future teachers, paying particular attention to the conditions conducive to ensuring the quality of practical preparation for work at school. The aim of the research was to determine the opinions of students on the effectiveness of teaching practice at school. The article analyses various forms of developing teaching competences, including participation in the implementation of research and teaching projects at the university, as well as individual implementation of school internships. In order to determine the level of selected teaching competences among students of various faculties at the Pedagogical University of Kraków, a preliminary study was conducted using a survey with questions on various aspects of the course of school practice. The analysis of the obtained results proves that there is a need to improve the process of organising the practical training of future teachers, implementing non-standard approaches to the implementation of school internships, and taking into account the opinions of students on the organisation and course of such internships. Moreover, it was found that the participation of students of teaching specialisations in the implementation of scientific and didactic projects is an effective form of practical preparation for work in schools and is conducive to shaping teaching competences.
