Learning unit contents
In the DS partim I course, we will cover some essential points for students who intend to teach in the biological sciences: -What is teaching? What is learning? We will examine different kinds of scientific knowledge and its didactic transposition, from the point of view of a teacher and also from the point of view of a student; the point is to give meaning to what is learned. -We will cover means of teaching within a legal framework, using official references. -What methods are most often used in teaching today? Through concrete examples of situations and teaching exercises, the course will provide training that is closely related to the reality on the ground today. -How do we learn to live in multidisciplinary groups? The course will show students how to enrich their training; share their experiences; take stock of their own ideas; and how to construct tools together. -The course will show students how to manage contacts and exchange of information among colleagues, and in cooperation with actors on the ground or with associations for the promotion of various sciences. These questions will be examined through concrete examples of situations and teaching exercises, and with the help of advice from working teachers. In this way, future teachers will gradually work out specific tools designed to help them take charge of various kinds of teaching situations.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After completion of the DD partim I course, students should be able to: - use all necessary referencies in order to make sure that biology is taught in an up-to-date fashion which is focused on students, and intended to help them acquire the skills required at their level of instruction. - practice effective communication, master the use of effective didactic tools, manage learning by students in class effectively; - develop notions of themselves in order to construct their professional identities as biology teachers.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Prerequisites include high-quality scientific training gained during university-level study (animal and plant biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, veterinary medicine, etc.), and this scientific knowledge will be tested at the beginning of the course in order to allow students to remedy gaps in their preparation; sufficient facility in the course language of instruction (French) is required, and this will also be tested at the beginning of training leading to qualification.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Training is intended to be concrete in nature, concerning active methods: - Teaching exercises are organized in real classes in secondairy school: each student presents a lesson with the help of a experienced teacher to prepare this lesson. A report must be written. - Concrete situations are set up in accordance with a theme such as experimental science, or management of groups and discussions, including classroom debates, in terms of analyses and field trips, experimentation in biology, and skill testing
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face courses, presence required. Classes for the course and for exercises are on Wednesdays, except in special cases (defined in schedule at the begining of school year). important part of courses will be self training (flip learning, personal works...). Enthusiastic participation on the part of each student is necessary in order for the training staff to do their job.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Notes are prepared and handed out to students during class. The didactic contract and documents needed for internship activities and various other activities can be downloaded from eCampus
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam
- Remote
written work
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
