Background. Working (pedagogical) practice is an important part of professional training of students in many specialties. Research objective. The live pedagogical process is difficult for trainee students. Especially those who have no experience in teaching or speaking in front of an audience worry a lot. Supervisors of pedagogical practice for students, particularly psychology students, in both Russia and Azerbaijan are convinced of this. The authors of the article faced such problems in 2018-2022. Research Methods. To solve this problem, we developed an algorithm for selecting the tactics of teacher-practitioner (student-practitioner) behaviour according to the audience factor in traditional face-to-face teaching. The algorithm is also applicable to the online classroom format. Key Findings. Algorithm of work tactics choice by the factor "audience composition and structure". The algorithm is based on the principle of an indicative action framework. The "A" - action - is the action of choosing the tactics of the teacher-practitioner's behaviour according to the factors of the characteristics of the classroom. The factors include size, homogeneity, proficiency level, and general mood of the participants. Conclusion. The presented algorithm was implemented in the content of students' preparatory work before pedagogical practice in 2018-2022. The students applied this algorithm to choose strategies for their behaviour in practice. The authors of the article received acknowledgements from student practitioners who emphasised the effectiveness of using the algorithm. However, the authors did not take separate measurements, so they offer this text as a theoretical model for students' choice of tactics in their pedagogical practice.
