Hebrew term or phrase: הוראה קלינית
This term appears in a document discussing methods of teaching in a high school. It literally translates as "clinical teaching" but the context has nothing to do with medicine/clinics. The same adjective is used in several places in the document, e.g.:

המורים ...המשתתפים תהפוך קלינית יותר

So my question really is what is the translation of קלינית in this context?

practicums / practica
Explanation:
It looks like the reference might be to what in US educational contexts are called "practicums" (or, using the more formal Latin plural, "practica").

Practicums involve what the term suggests: practical, "hands-on" experience regarding the subject matter being taught. A practicum in a political science course, for example, might involve a student working for some set period of time in the office of a public official.
