Learning unit contents

How do we know what our trainees have learned ? The world of professional training also more and more cares for the assessment of learning outcomes. Highlighting these achievements notably allows to valorize the trainees, in order to boost their self-esteem but also to facilitate their professional reintegration.
This year's course will take place in the ProFA (Professionnalisation des Formateurs du milieu Associatif) environment/project. In close collaboration with the researchers and trainers of this training project, the students will take part in the design and development of integrated evaluation tasks as well as their testing.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course will mainly target the development of the second competence of the competence grid for the ULG Master in educational sciences, competence slightly modified (by the lecturer) as follows :
"Run efficient activities or programs in education and training (they should answer the needs of the target public, offer them satisfaction and foster learning) 

• mobilising scientific (pedagogical) and technological knowledge in coherence with the targeted contexts and publics ;
• making use of diverse tools, notably IT ;
• evaluating each trainees' progresses, using pertinent tools (adapted to contexts and publics) ;
• regulating the actions on the basis of observation and analysis data, exploited in a critical way."

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Models and analysis frameworks proposed in the "Partim 1" of this same course.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The students will work in small groups.
They will discover the ProFA project, then develop an integrative evaluation task (framed as a concrete case) aiming at evaluating the way trainees (who are themselves trainers), using ICT efficiently, are able to:

• (1) Design and facilitate activities aiming at deep learning
• (2) Develop trainees' selfregulation (SRL) 
• (3) Install a motivating and supporting classroom  climate
• (4) Support collaboration and human relationship

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

Face-to-face seminars as well as group work.

Recommended or required readings

ProFA online modules, comprising resources, will be accessible to the students during this course.

Assessment methods and criteria

Participation in the training activities is mandatory in order to access evaluation for this course.
Through a written report comprising important annexes (with the developed tasks as well as tracks from their use or different kind of interactions), the students will be asked to demonstrate their development of the second competence from the ULG Master in educational sciences (see upper, as slightly modified by the lecturer).
A specific seminar will help them build up that report.
In cohérence with the idea of continuous evaluation, some of the intermediate productions will be noted and taken into account in the final grade, together with the report.

Work placement(s)

None

Organizational remarks

Face-to-face seminars will be located in the T1 building, Quai Timmermans, 14 (Sclessin).
