- Understand the basics of working dynamics specific to small groups
- Identify the stakes involved in tutoring learning in small groups
- Identify the pitfalls of tutoring practices applied to small groups and elaborate strategies to avoid them
- Think out possibilities of integrating some of the principles and/or methods of PBL and tutorial support into the elaboration of your own pedagogical project |

| - Lectures on theory
- Viewing of video recordings of PBL seminars for medical students (bachelor's and master's levels) followed by discussion
- Debates about the difficulties and benefits of PBL

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| You write down a reflective report (2 to 5 pages) in which you explain how this course has contributed to make your reflections on your own teaching practice evolve. You should also explain which elements of PBL and tutorial support could be transferred to your practice and for which purpose.
Your reflective report should help you to regulate your teaching practice. It will be assessed according to the following criteria:
- You refer explicitly to theoretical elements and to your personal experience of the seminars on PBL in which you took part
- You demonstrate reflective ability (questioning and critical analysis)
- You present your reflections in an adequate form (respect of instructions and of APA referencing rules, structured argumentation, quality of language)
This course amounts to 5% of the Formasup end-of-programme grade. A minimum grade of 10 out of 20 is required to pass the course.
If you undertake Formasup in 2 years, optional courses with a lesser grade than 10/20 obtained in year 1 cannot be retaken in year 2. |
