Course contents :
|
| Alongside the courses of specific didactics, centred on teaching/learning sequences of particular knowledge, this course of general didactics is situated at a more systemic level and discusses pedagogical issues that may have a scope section.
The course will deal with the following ten thematics:
- Some characteristics of the school system in the French Speaking Community
- Teaching: a job that changes and a professional identity to build
- The complexity of the teachers' job: cross view on the different facets of the job
- Some characteristics of an efficient teacher: time and learning management
- Discipline management in classroom
- Teachers' believes
- Dealing with heterogeneity
- Motivational dynamic
- Skills development
- Assessment |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Discovering and understanding some central concepts of general pedagogy.
- Understanding and developing a critical thinking on certain characteristics of the school system in the French Speaking Community of Belgium, mainly in terms of teaching practices that can reduce (vs. increase) inequalities between students.
- Confronting one's own ideas for understanding how they may affect one's educational activities.
- Analyzing various factors that may influence students learning.
- Interpreting teaching/learning situations with the aim to understand and evaluate the possible effect of one's actions and to make informed educational choices
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The organization of the course is based on the articulation of theory and practice within four training modalities:
· A theoretical course which aims at elaborating a conceptual framework linked with educational researches and teaching practices.
· An observation training course, which aims at focusing on some specific educational issues, such as time management or investment of students in learning tasks. It will be exploited at a specific session.
· The exercises, conducted in disciplinary or multidisciplinary groups, which aim at working on one's own conceptions of teaching, in analysing educational practices and specific topics through different situations (as a learner, a teacher, an evaluator, ...).
· The reflective practice seminars, which aim at enabling the exchange, analysis and conceptualization of the situations encountered during teaching.
The realization of the observation training as well as the presence at the didactic exercises and de seminars of reflexive practices are compulsory. Failure to attend one or another of these activities will be sanctioned. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face for the theoretical course (10h), the didactic exercises (20h) and reflexive practices (10h). In schools for the observation training (a school day). Besides for the works to realize (see assessment for more information) |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A copy of the PowerPoint will be available for students on myUlg.
A syllabus will be available in Point de vue. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The evaluation concerns abilities to reflect about the teaching practice in link with the real educational contexts from concepts supplied by the theoretical framework, experiences from the teaching practices and formative activities based on the seminars. Three parts will intervene in the final certification. (Caution - Students must complete the three parts of the evaluation to get a qualification for the course).
- A written examination (in January) which aims at checking the understanding of theoretical concepts covered in the theoretical lessons and used in the didactical exercises (40%)
- An individual work (to be submitted for 15th of May 2012) based on theoretical arguments and making a critical reflection on aspects of one's own teaching and /or professional identity (40%).
- A groth journal (to be handed for 15th
- May 2012) including different reflexive traces made during the year (20% of the final qualification).
|
|
Training(s) :
|
| Un observation training course (10h) must be done for the course of General Didactics (see Learning activities and teaching methods).
The teaching training sessions are organized by the course of Specific Didactics but the team of General Didactics collaborates with the Specific Didactics and also participates to the follow-up. The evaluation of the teaching training sessions doesn't intervene for the qualification of the General Didactics course. |
|
