- To conceive appropriate lessons, in the field of active pedagogy.
- To implement the strategy and to manage the learning.

Reflexive practical work

The reflexive workshops are strongly linked with experiences in the classroom.
Learning outcomes :
- To make a critical analysis of the observed and teached lessons by the students, in order to enlarge their vision of the geography and of the geography didactics. - To design for each student some ways to improve his/her teaching practice and some points to study deeply for his/her own learning.

Assessment methods and criteria

Two reports will be done : one from the teacher "master of the stage" and the other from the teacher who is responsible of the course.
During the stage, feedbacks will be given to the students.
The evaluation grid is given at the beginning of the year.
The weight of the stage is 40% of the global note.

Observation placements

The student must write a report which will be included in the port-folio.

Teaching placements

The evaluation of the teaching practices takes in account the improvement of the student. The evaluation of the teaching practices is based on four points of view : the one of the teacher which receive and supervise the student, the one of the professor of geography didactics (after a visit and through the reading of the lessons preparations) and the one of the student (dashboard). An evaluation grid shows when the criterions and indicators are taken in account for a "formative" evaluation (* and **) or for a "certificative" evaluation (***).
