Through the course DIDAC II, we will continue to study throughly the topics explored during the course DIDAC I.
Various original didactic tools to build the learning will be experienced and analysed (see the workshops list below).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of this teaching unit, the student will be able to: - build a complete lesson sequence, consistent with the expectations of the competency frameworks for secondary education and consistent with the most relevant pedagogical foundations, given the research in didactics; - satisfactorily implement several lesson sequences in transition secondary education; - be able to self-evaluate and justify choices based on pedagogical and didactic theories and grids; - to design original didactic tools adapted to the subjects to be addressed and to the public concerned.

Certificative evaluation : - Port-folio (60%) - Public lessons (40%) : For taking the exam named "public lessons", the student has to present the pedagogical frame for some lessons on two differents topics in front of a mixed jury (physical and social geography, general didactics and special didactics).
