| Complementary with the courses of specific didactic, centred on teaching/learning sequences of particular knowledge, this course of general didactics discusses pedagogical issues that may have a more transversal scope.
The course will deal with the following ten thematics: - Some characteristics of the school system in Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles - Teaching: a job that changes and a professional identity to build - Process of planning - Time and learning management - Discipline management in classroom - Teachers' believes - Dealing with heterogeneity - Motivational dynamic - Skills development - Assessment |

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

| Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program. Spécific didactic (partim 1) is a co-requisite to general didactic. | ||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
||
| The organization of the course is based on the articulation of theory and practice within four training modalities:
· A theoretical course which aims at elaborating a conceptual framework linked with educational researches and teaching practices. · The exercises, conducted in multidisciplinary groups, which aim at working on one's own conceptions of teaching, in analysing educational practices and specific topics through different situations (as a learner, a teacher, an evaluator, ...). · An observation training course, which aims at clarifying personal questions concerning teachning and finding some first answers through observations. · The reflective practice seminars, which aim at enabling the exchange, analysis and conceptualization of the situations encountered during teaching and to think about professional identity. The realization of the observation training (SO) as well as the presence at the didactic exercises (ED) and the seminars of reflexive practices (PR) are compulsory. Two unjustified non-attendances to the didactic exercises lead to the inadmissibility of the student to the written examination. Two unjustified non-attendances to the reflexive practices lead to the inadmissibility to the final individual work as well as the absence of the attendance sheet from the observation training (that must be attached to the paper version of this work). The non-attendance (even justified) to more than the half of the didactic exercises or the reflexive practices automatically (except in exceptional cases appreciated by people in charge of SAI) leads to a NON-ATTENDANCE note (or EXCUSE) for the course. The observation training, the didactic exercises sessions and the reflexive practices sessions are organized once in an academic year. The inadmissible student to the 1st session examination is also inadmissible for the 2nd session. A vade-mecum, presented to the students during the first didactic exercises session and posted on "myUlg" completes the course specifications. |
||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
||
| Face-to-face for the theoretical course (10h), the didactic exercises (20h) and reflexive practices (10h). In schools for the observation training (10h). Besides for the works to realize (see assessment for more information) | ||
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
||
| A textbook avaliable on myULg and to the Presses Universitaires.
A copy of the ppt will also be available on myULg. |
||
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
||
The evaluation concerns abilities to reflect about the teaching practice in link with the real educational contexts from concepts supplied by the theoretical framework, experiences from the teaching practices and formative activities based on the reflective practice seminars. Two parts will be taken into account in the final certification.
Students must complete the two parts of the evaluation to get a score for the course (if not, students will get a "0" score). Furthermore, any serious deficiency (score < 8) in one of the two parts of the assessment leads to a serious failure (score <8) for the entire course. For the second session, students will represent the parts of the assessment for which they had not obtained a minimum score of 10/20. |
||
|
Work placement(s) :
|
||
| Un observation training course (10h) must be done for the course of General Didactics (see Learning activities and teaching methods). | ||
|
Organizational remarks :
|
||
| The schedule of the theoretical course is Monday, 18-20 to allow people who work to follow the courses. Special schedule is also planned for the didactic exercises and the reflexive practices seminars (see schedule on the Cifen web-site :
