| Practice teaching is made up of important steps in the progressive acquisition of teaching skills. Students working on course preparation and related tasks must apply themselves as diligently as possible to these tasks. The teaching intern must sign a statement promising to act with respect toward the institution, the intern director and the students he or she is given to instruct, in moral terms as well as pedagogical terms. This promise is a declaration on the part of the intern which will be made available to students, and which must be signed at the beginning of the year.
Internships with teaching are opportunities for students to be exposed to different kinds of teaching, different ways of presenting material in class, and different kinds of publics (students). |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| Students will be able to gain perspective with regard to their own teaching practice during teaching exercises and practice teaching; there will be many occasions for students to analyze their own practices in order to improve. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| These 10 hours will be devoted to two different types of activities which are explained in detail on the instruction sheet that is available on eCampus.
One activity is participative, according to the student's choice between three of these and one other is free but after having received the authorisation of a didactics specialist. |
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Teaching placements |
|
| The principal objective of practice teaching is to put the future teacher in situations that he or she will encounter in professional practice. These teaching situations will lead future teachers to acquire skills as they pursue their initial training for the profession of teacher.
After practice classes are over, the student will be able to prepare a complete lesson plan for a class, to demonstrate a willingness to reflect upon his or her practice, and to study that practice in order to improve it. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
-analyse their practice in order to improve it, alone and in a group;
-analyse the practice of others in order to enrich their vision of teaching in the sciences;
-take into account their own representations of the profession in order to enable them to develop. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| The objective of these activities is for students to encounter the macroscopic context of teaching and the school; to look at students and their education in a different way; and to learn to work in a system. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Teaching placements |
|
| Having followed the DIDAC 1 part of the course.
In order to be allowed to enter the teacher training programme, students must sign an internship protocol and must have participated on a regular basis in classes and exercises (attendance is verified) and have completed the active practice stages of DIDAC 1. If in the course of activities a lack of preparation is observed the faculty for special didactics in biology reserves the right to require individual students to remedy this lack and to demand that additional conditions be met prior to that student being allowed to practice teach. |

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
| | Teaching placements |
|
| pedagogical monitor can be helpers in order to contribute to the construction of didactic sequences for each student's benefit, depending on what is asked for and the subjects involved. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| Return periods for stages and practical exercises will furnish opportunities for working on the practice of reflection with students. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| Students must choose one activity between 3 proposed and schedule their own one activity session outside of class, at times other than those scheduled for internship work or training, after having received the authorisation of a didactics specialist. |
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|
| | Teaching placements |
|
| Internships are scheduled during periods when regular courses are not in session.
Second year: after Christmas, 4 weeks, at the time of the Easter holiday, 4 weeks.
Students choose their internship directors from a list furnished by the Special Didactics Service for biology. Students will have a different supervisor for each of three stages of their training. Students must switch types of teacher training for a minimum of 5 course periods (50') (from general teaching to professional or technique of qualification). Students will fulfil their stage requirements in at least two different schools.
Students will make their exact internship schedule available one week before the beginning of the period, with the help of an ad hoc form to be filled out. Hours spent doing practice teaching, etc., which are not scheduled in this manner in a timely fashion will not be counted. The student who's teaching in a school could only validate 10 course periods in his school, in his own classes or not.
Each student will be observed four times during stages by didactics specialists and eventually by didactics generalists (one visit). |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| Time spent in reflection on practice is not separated from time in class or time spent doing exercises: post-internship discussions, analysis of shared practices, and discussion of practices are opportunities to work on this. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| Chosen by the student, throughout the training year. According to instructions. |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|
| | Teaching placements |
|
| During the internship the student will be visited four times by the members of the Special Didactic Service for biology. The first visit of the internship will be carried out as a training visit, and the following three visits will be for purposes of certification. The purpose of the visits is to observe the context of work being performed, the practice teacher's strengths and weaknesses, and to verify progress in professional ability as a teacher (construction of professional identity). After the observation is concluded the student will be able to discuss any problems or questions with the didactic specialists. The grade for that part of the stage will be arrived at using a grid of criteria which will be shared with students and which can be downloaded from the eCampus platform. A written justification will be given to students later on, along with the grade given.
The internship stage grade will be calculated as follows:
Grade from the didactic specialist (visits) plus the opinion of the intern supervisor(s): 80% of the total for this part
The grade for this stage will be issued for the second and third certificatory visits.
"35h report" contents visas of observations in classrooms, pratiques scolaires hors cours report, practice content, preparations for each lesson, pupils documents... (see instructions on eCampus). This work will take 20% of the total for this part.
No second session will be convened for the internships. |
| | Reflexive practical work |
|
| The evaluation for reflective practice will be a training grade which will continue throughout exercises. The internship report will be the basis for a more formal evaluation. The grade given to the rapport 35h will count 20% of the grade for this part of the course. |
| | Extra-scholar teaching activities |
|
| Report will be done in accordance with instructions that can be downloaded from eCampus. |
