Teaching placements

The students are in charge of internships (20 hours) during which they teach in secondary school classes under the supervision of experienced teachers. In addition to chemistry, they may also teach a limited number of biology lessons.

Reflexive practical work

Reflexive practices are based on the analysis, by the students and the members of the chemistry didactics group, of the internship 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, tutoring schuelerlabors, meeting the parents, ...

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Teaching placements

At the end of their internships, 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 practical work

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.

Extra-scholar teaching activities

Make future teachers sensitive to the very diverse facets of their job.

8 hours must be taught in technical qualification classes or in professional classes.

Reflexive practical work

Reflexive practices are organized when the members of the chemistry didactics group come to assess a lesson in a school, and at the end of each internship. The critical analysis included in the report is an important part of the reflexive practices.

Recommended or required readings :  
Teaching placements

Official curricula and chemistry books for the secondary school, and bachelor chemistry textbooks (for revising chemistry concepts)
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Teaching placements

Assessment by the secondary school supervisor and by the members of the chemistry didactics laboratory. A report must be written by the student at the end of the internships. This report will be assessed.
The report must include a critical analysis of the work performed.

Reflexive practical work

The internship report must include a critical analysis of the work performed. This will be assessed.
