Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

The course aims at making you reflect on possible ways of transferring elements of former learning or training experiences to your teaching practice so as to enrich it. In other words, you have to look back on former occasions of pedagogical learning or training (including reading) which you found useful for your professional development and to explain how you propose to transfer what you learnt on such occasions to your concrete teaching practice.

Learning outcomes of the course :

The course should enable you to formalize your reflections on possible ways of transferring elements of former learning or training experiences (including reading) to your teaching practice so as to enrich it.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

None.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

You have taken part in some pedagogical training or symposium, you have read books on pedagogy ? You'll have the opportunity to explicit how those experiences have modified your professional practice (transfer). The learning or training experiences on which you decide to reflect have to be approved by the person in charge of the course. They should be planned in the same academic year. You can also ask for individual meeting sessions in order to discuss those choices.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

The individual meeting sessions can be organized online.

Recommended or required readings :

Specific to each participant.

Assessment methods and criteria :

You write down a reflective report (5 to 10 pages) in which you explain how your reading / learning or training experience (provided it has been previously approved by the persons in charge of the course) has contributed to make your reflections on your own teaching practice evolve. You should also explain which elements of the reading, learning or training experience could be/have been 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 training (or other learning activity) in which you took part (specific to each participant);
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).

PAY ATTENTION to the deadlines : each reading/training program should be discussed before validation by the course lecturer. This process should be completed BEFORE October 30st to avoid course exclusion.
