Course contents :
|
|
 | | Course and exercises |
|
| Didactical analysis of selected aspects of the curriculum: The discovery of the atomic structure - The chemical bond - Redox reactions and electrochemistry
- Development of an experiment-based teaching approach: 5th and 6th year's curriculum
- Efficient use of computer tools in a chemistry classroom
- Introduction to epistemological reflexion: understanding the characteristics of the scientific method, the relationships with other disciplines, promoting ethical aspects |
| | Teaching practicums |
|
| The students are in charge of two practicums during which they teach in secondary school classes under the supervision of experienced teachers. In addition to chemistry, they also teach a limited number of biology lessons. |
| | Reflexive practice |
|
| Reflexive practices are based on the analysis, by the students and the members of the chemistry didactics group, of the practicum report, in order to define the appropriate feedback. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| Participation in a few scholar activities taking place outside the traditional classroom environment: accompanying pupils to scientific events, meeting the parents, ... |
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| At the end of their AESS studies, the future teachers will be able to:
- develop among their students a citizenship-oriented behaviour;
- contribute to the intellectual development of each student;
- guide the learning processes;
- promote the development of transferable skills;
- assess the results of their teaching practices;
- work in a team-oriented way;
- use efficiently modern communication techniques;
- follow the legal regulations involving safety and health in a chemical environment. |
| | Teaching practicums |
|
| At the end of their practicums, the future teachers are expected to master the major competences that define a professional teacher so that they can participate efficiently in a secondary school teaching team. |
| | Reflexive practice |
|
| Reflexive practices are one of the many tools which should help the future teachers to:
- develop among their students a citizenship-oriented behaviour;
- contribute to the intellectual development of each student;
- guide the learning processes;
- promote the development of transferable skills;
- assess the results of her/his teaching practice;
- work in a team-oriented way;
- use efficiently modern communication techniques;
- follow the legal regulations involving safety and health in a chemical environment. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| Make future teachers sensitive to the very diverse facets of their job. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| - Course AESS0216
- A good knowledge of chemistry at the bachelor level
- A good knowledge of the general didactics course |
| | Teaching practicums |
|
| Part I of the chemistry didactics course and the associated practicum (AESS0216) |
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| Practical work is integrated into the theoretical course (development of an experiment-based teaching, assessment techniques ...) |
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| This course follows course AESS0216. It also consists in seminars developing the various aspects described above. They take place on Wednesday afternoon, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m, during the whole second quadrimester. The students are informed about the programme and the timetable at the beginning of the academic year. |
| | Teaching practicums |
|
| The practicums will take place during the second quadrimester 2011-2012.
The students are in charge of finding themselves the secondary school and their supervisor(s).
The students receive detailed written information about the organizational aspects.
8 hours must be taught in technical qualification classes or in professional classes.
Reflexive practices are organized at the end of the practicum and when a member of the chemistry didactics laboratory comes to assess a lesson. |
| | Reflexive practice |
|
| Reflexive practices are organized at the end of each practicum and when the members of the chemistry didactics group come to assess a lesson in a school. |
|
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| The students are provided with various printed documents concerning the different topics taught. |
|
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|
| | Course and exercises |
|
| The students have to develop a personal contribution to a chemistry-oriented didactical theme, to be chosen during the academic year. Competences in epistemology will also be assessed. In addition, a public chemistry lesson will be given by each student during the examination period. The global assessment will take the quality of these various works into account. A reasonable knowledge of the chemistry concepts involved in all these works is a necessary condition to obtain a global grading level equal to at least 10/20. |
| | Teaching practicums |
|
| The quality of the practicum is assessed both by the supervisor and by the members of the chemistry didactics group.
A report must be written by the student at the end of each practicum and will be assessed. |
| | Reflexive practice |
|
| The practicum report must include a critical analysis of the work performed. |
