Learning unit contents
Dropout may designate the fact of not being interested any more in the school work, the fact of giving up school, or to leave the education system with a low level of qualification. Dropout is the outcome of a long cumulative process of disengagement which results from an interaction between school and socio-family factors. This process can take root in the very first contacts with the school.
During the lessons, factors occurring in the process of early school leaving at various stages of the schooling will be identified and put in connection with educational practices which can be exploited with the aim of reducing the early school leaving.
Practical class will allow the students to observe or to experiment education practices reducing the early school leaving.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will work one of the two following skills:
1. Describe, analyze, decode educational / training situations in context by referring to the conceptual frameworks from the field of science education.
- Describe the elements of these situations, describe their context and explain their interactions at various levels of the system
- Distinguish levels of analysis (individual, groupal, institutional ...).
- Distinguish descriptive, interpretive and prescriptive discourses.
- Question these situations with reference to frameworks.
- Incorporate in its analyzes various contexts with formative and educational issues as well as the age range affected by these issues.
- Argue a position with regard to an education / training issue referring adequately to an educational point of view.
- Analyze the context and characteristics of audiences to define needs and priorities.
- Design, plan and control individual or collective education/training plans and interventions tailored to the needs and characteristics of public and feasibility in context.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
It is highly recommended to have passed, or to take at the same time the course PEDA4021-1 An Introduction to Education and Training Sciences - Ariane Baye
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The theoretical course will be based on oral presentations supported by power points. Documentary resources will be put at the disposal of the students. Practical class will allow the students to experiment and criticize educational practices. A special focus will be made on the collective dimension of the practical work.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face. Meetings with pedagogical staff are mandatory.
After October, 1th, it will no longer be possible to join the group teams.
Recommended or required readings
Documentary resources and power pointswill be put at the disposal of the students on e-campus.
Assessment methods and criteria
The final assessment will be focused on the ability to describe, analyze, criticize, and propose improvement suggestions. These skills will be assessed both for the experiments to reduce dropout ("theoretical" part of the course) and for team-working part of the course.
The assessment will also focus on the ability to find general(ie for the entire education and training system) principles to reduce dropout and exclusion.
These general principles to reduce dropout will be deduced from the different parts of the courses (every lecture, and associated scientific literature, are aimed at describing various actions taken to reduce or prevent dropout, and the practical sessions will also be an occasion to discover deeply dropout prevention at one level of education).
The final evaluation requires the student to complete two different works (it is mandatory to make these three works to be credited for the course):
- A work-group report (50% of the final note)
- An oral exam (50% of the final note)
Consultation of exams:
January, 30th, 1-4 PM. Registration is compulsory, by January, 28th : aide@uliege.be
