Reflections written by the students in the study group, related to constructivism, their education and assessment of themselves and information forms to determine the context were analyzed by the method of discourse analysis. According to the results of the study pre-service teachers found themselves are adequate in terms of theoretical knowledge but are lacking in practical knowledge.
