Course contents :
|
| During DIDAC 2, the classes and practical exercises will continue to explore the questions raised during DIDAC 1, and will also address the following questions :
How can we check that each pupil has adequate skills-based learning in the biological sciences?
How can we establish contact and dialogue with actors close to the school environment who may be able to help pupils and also help teachers in their work?
How can we widen our training to develop our careers? Science, technology and society; the birth of scientific knowledge and its evolution over time; enrolling in continuing professional education.
How can we construct a specific methodology for the teaching of science?
What image does science project of itself? What values? What moral code? How can we create responsible citizens? ... |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The objectives worked on in DIDAC 1 will be continued. Here are the specific objectives for Part 2 of the course:
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
-Reflect about their epistemological and didactic positions;
-Understand how the foregoing are involved in student learning and in the construction of their professional identity;
-Reflect and gain perspective regarding the profession of teaching, know how to listen to students, and be able to call on actors who are involved with the school in order to get more help for students. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Having followed the DIDAC 1 part of the course. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Training is intended to be concrete in nature, concerning active methods:
- Concrete situations are set up in accordance with a theme such as experimental science, or management of groups and discussions, including classroom debates, in terms of analyses and field trips, experimentation in biology, and skill testing.
- autoscopy exercice during teaching practice, according to student's choice, in order to analyze the difference between reality and prevision, and to correct the preparation form (camera report). |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Classes and exercises take place on Wednesdays between 14:00 and 17:30. It is essential that all enrolled students participate and are committed, for the training course to succeed. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Notes are prepared and handed out to students during class. The didactic contract and documents needed for internship activities and various other activities can be downloaded from MyULg
Students are requested to begin reading these two works:
André Giordan and Jérôme Saltet, Apprendre à apprendre, Editions Librio
Philippe Meirieu, Lettre à un jeune professeur, ESF éditeur |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Class attendance shall be mandatory, and will be included as part of a general evaluation, which will be figured into the overall course grade.
Students will get another opportunity to carry out a teaching exercise during the first-quadrimester course. This involves going to visit the pedagogical supervisor (one is assigned to each student) and teaching one class of his or her course, when this can be scheduled and under certain conditions. Once again, this exercise will not be graded, but the analysis of it that is made with the help of the pedagogical supervisor will be graded as part of a report to be added to the portfolio.
Special Didactics 2 will end with an oral examination. At this examination students must present to their colleagues a piece of work, which must have been finished in advance of the exam, so that students can furnish a copy (electronic document or paper) to the didactic specialist for biology on the date of the exam.
The purpose of this assignment is to present a lesson (or a sequence of lessons) on a theme from the teaching programme, mobilizing exact scientific skills; this lesson must be produced as a text that can be circulated among a student's colleagues. Students will present in front of their colleagues (10'), a poster that displays the main ideas of the lesson, plus other concrete material if necessary.
These sequences will take place on Wednesdays in late May and early June.
"Camera" report about autoscopy exercice represent part of the final grade of this course.
Administrativ part of "rapport 35h" will take place hier too (see AESS2218-1)
