| Course contents : | This course proposes a theoretical approach to teaching the dramatic arts: What information to teach? How to structure this information? What methods should be used to present the information? It also aims to prepare future students for practical teaching of the dramatic arts. The course will cover questions relating to lesson preparation, classroom management, methods of presenting information and how to assess teaching. It will also provide students with information about existing didactic material which may be useful to them in the course of their future profession.

| This course offers a theoretical approach to teaching the dramatic arts: What information to teach? How to structure this information? What methods should be used to present the information? It also aims to prepare future students for practical teaching of the dramatic arts. The course will cover questions relating to lesson preparation, classroom management, methods of presenting knowledge and how to assess teaching. It will also inform students about existing didactic material which may be useful to them in the course of their future profession. |
| | Observation placements |
|
| Students must observe ten hours of classes given in higher secondary education establishments. These ten hours of observation are spread over different points during the year. During the month of October, students must observe seven hours of classes in a minimum of two different classes and for the duration of the class. Before each teaching placement, students will observe an hour of classes given by their placement supervisor and one of the classes for which they will be responsible throughout their placement. There will be three teaching placements, and students must observe three hours of classes in total. |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| Throughout the academic year, students must carry out 40 hours of teaching placement in higher secondary teaching establishments. These hours are split over three main sessions: November, January-February, March-April. Each teaching placement must be carried out in a different school and with a different audience (general teaching, professional teaching, teaching for qualifications and/or adult education) During each placement, the student will manage one or more classes. Students will prepare and present lessons on subjects chosen with the placement supervisor. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| After each teaching placement, students are invited to present and share with the rest of the class, their experience of the placement. This discussion is marked by four main themes: classroom management, the subject, timing and didactic material. |
|
|
| Course objective : | The special didactics course on Information and Communication primarily aims to help students develop a theoretical approach to on teaching the dramatic arts. It aims to give students the basics required for entering this profession.

|
| The special didactics course on Information and Communication primarily aims to develop students' theoretical approach to teaching the dramatic arts. Among other things, it aims to give students the basics required for entering this profession. |
| | Observation placements |
|
| The aim is for students to better understand the environment in which teaching takes place, the organisation of a school, how lessons develop, the role of the teacher and pupils, their interaction, classroom activities, etc. This is to give students an understanding of the demands of their future profession. This observation placement has a crucial role in determining how well the teaching placements go, as it enables students to better prepare their lessons, experience their first contact with their future pupils, their future classes etc, and thus to imagine themselves in their future role as "placement-teacher". |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| The teaching placements allow students to put into place the teaching practices they have studied in class and began during the exercises and observation placement. Spreading the placements over three sessions should allow students to develop their training project by meeting different student audiences, encountering new practical experience with their theoretical teaching and to benefit from the advice and comments of other staff (placement supervisors, pedagogical monitors, special didactics staff). |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| These reflective exercises aim to lead students to take a step back from their placement and reflect on them through the four main themes given above.
The discussions are also an opportunity to share experiences and/or identify problems encountered during the placements and try to find solutions. |
|
|
| Prerequisites : | A theoretical knowledge of material relating to the dramatic arts is required to follow the objectives of this pedagogical course, namely: reflecting on teaching methods and ways of structuring a lesson.

| A theoretical knowledge of material relating to the dramatic arts is required to follow the objectives of this pedagogical course, namely: reflecting on teaching methods and ways of structuring a lesson. |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| A theoretical knowledge of material relating the dramatic arts and a good understanding of the pedagogical concepts and tools introduced in the theory class is vital to best prepare the different lessons given during the teaching placements and to meet the objectives set for the various teaching placements. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| Having carried out the teaching placements is essential to meet the objectives of this course. |
|
|
| Workshops : |
| | Course and exercises |
|
| On the basis of given scenarios, students will be encouraged to reflect, in groups of two or three, on their future teaching practice and teaching the dramatic arts, using concepts and pedagogical tools introduced during the theoretical part of the course. After appointing a representative, each group of students with then share the results of their discussions with the rest of the class. Each presentation will give rise to a debate. Moreover, in "Part II" of the course (AESS0228-F-a), each student will present a lesson on a given subject to the rest of the class. This will be the final exercise and will take place at the end of the year. This will allow all students to be assessed at the end of the didactic and pedagogical training. |
| | Observation placements |
|
| During the first seven hours of observation, students will complete a detailed plan describing each moment observed. This sheet is then inserted into an observation report which each student must submit to the special didactics course. This report must take the form of a descriptive and reflective text on what the student has highlighted during his or her observations. Detailed instructions for this report are given in the document distributed to students at the start of the year. |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| Before each teaching placement, students should meet a special didactics staff member at least once (lecturer, assistants, pedagogical monitors). These interviews will give them the chance to discuss lesson preparation, match the teaching methods to the subject matter being taught and to find solutions to any problems. At the end of the year, students must submit a written document certifying that each interview took place (dates, times and signature of the member of special didactic staff met). Moreover, at the end of each teaching placement, students must submit a placement report summarising lesson preparation and the documents given to pupils during the classes. Detailed instructions for this report given in the document distributed to students at the start of the year. |

|
| Organization : | This course takes place on Wednesdays between 2pm and 5pm in the Commu room 2, place du 20 Août, Building 1, 4th Floor.
| | Observation placements |
|
| The observation placement takes place in October and the start of the three teaching placements is: start of November, start of January, start of March. |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| The teaching placements take place over three main sessions: November, January-February, March-April. During these periods, the special didactics course given on Wednesday afternoons will be suspended in order to allow students to devote themselves entirely to their lesson preparations. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| The reflective exercises are organised after each teaching placement (end November, end February, end April) and within the framework of the Special Didactics course (Wednesdays from 2pm to 5pm in Commu Room 2). |

|
| Assessment : | Assessment takes the form of continuous assessment on the different didactic exercises carried out in class, the observation placement report, assessment by placement supervisors, evaluation of the lessons observed by the special didactic staff during the teaching placements, reports on the teaching placements as well as the public lesson presented by students at the end of the year.
| | Course and exercises |
|
| Students will be continuously assessed, based on their attendance in class, participation in discussions, respect for the guidelines given for the exercises, involvement in the exercises and their ability to put into practice the pedagogical concepts and tools studied, both in the different scenarios proposed during class and in their end of year public presentation. Assessment will be based on students' work throughout the course. Attendance at classes is therefore compulsory. Attendance of lower than 60% will automatically lead to an insufficient grade (fail) for the course and the exercises. |
| | Observation placements |
|
| This includes an assessment based on the observation placement report: in line with the instructions given at the start of the year, students should be able to describe and analyse the classes they have observed, while simultaneously carrying out individual analysis and critique of their observations. The instructions for how the observation placement will take place and the report to be submitted as well as how these will be evaluated are given in a document distributed to all students at the start of the year. It is compulsory to carry out an observation placement. Not carrying this placement will lead to the student being required to resit the course as a result of incomplete training. Thus if students fail to submit their reports by the deadline given by the special didactics staff, this will lead to a grade of 0/20 for the observation placement. |
| | Teaching placements |
|
| For each teaching placement, students will be assessed by their placement supervisor who will submit a detailed report on the student's work throughout the placement to the special didactics department.
Alongside this external evaluation, each placement is also evaluated by a representative of the special didactics department who will attend at least one hour of lessons given by the student (at least three hours of observation over the entire teaching placements). This internal evaluation will also be based on the placement report which each student must submit at the end of the three placements. Instructions for how the placements will take place and the report to be submitted as well as how these will be evaluated are given in a document distributed to all students at the start of the year. These teaching placements are compulsory. Students who have not carried out the three teaching placements will be required to resit the course as a result of incomplete training. Thus, any placement report which is not submitted within the deadline given by the special didactic department will lead to a grade of 0/20, which will be taken into account in the internal evaluation by the special didactics department for the placement to which the non-submitted report relates. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| The reflective exercises are evaluated in terms of "achieved" or "not achieved". If students participate in the planned sessions, they will be up to date with their training. If not, they will be obliged to submit a written paper in the form of personal reflection and critique of the placement experience. |
