Learning unit contents
Theory
As the course is common to several sections of various faculties (Institute of Social Sciences, Institute of Public Health, Faculty of Psychology), an attention is granted to the diversity of the school and professional courses, but also to the waitings of students.
This course tends to link at the same time theoretical topics (the large sociological theories which had an interest for the ageing-related themes) and concrete problems (mistreatment, dependence, active ageing, etc.)
Practice
The works done in this part of the course aim to specialise the learner on one of the topics covered by the theoretical course, among which: demographic trends, types of retirement, problems of the older workers, representations of ageing, dependence and oldest age, migrant worker, sexuality and ageing, life in nursing homes, suicide of the elderly people, ageing for female, intergenerational relations...
The topic is chosen by the learner, in consultation with the teacher.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Theory
At the end of the course, the student will be able to remember and will have understood the main sociological and theoretical concepts met.
Especially, he will have acquired a critical glance on notions such as the dependence of elderly people, the older workers, the representations of old age...
He will be able to argue on these topics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theory
The theoretical course will use in particular the following methods: - ex cathedra presentations - framed debates - outside contributors - co-construction of knowledge with learners
Practice
The practical course will consist, for the students, alone or grouped by 2 or 3, to read, summarize, criticize (according to the concepts seen in the first part) and present to other students an article from approximately 20-30 pages or to make a personal work on a specific topic.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Theory
Two hours course each week, at the second semester.
Practice
5 sessions of 2h, beginning 1 months after the theoretical part.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Theory
As the course has been reorganized urgently, we remind you of the different instructions given :
Course based on two oral contextualization presentations and on the presentation of CARADEC V., Sociologie de la vieillesse et du vieillissement, Armand Colin, 2015.
A written assignment will be requested from students according to the instructions given and placed on eCampus.
Recommended or required readings
Theory
Course notes (slides) available after each course on My ULg and readings folder (articles by Caradec V., Gaullier X., Guillemard A.-M., Vrancken D. and other scientists).
Practice
See theoretical part (SOCI1095-A-a)
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.
Theory
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- Remote
written work
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
Written work to be submitted according to eCampus instructions
Practice
These works will be evaluated without distinction between the students (excepted in case of an obvious difference of implication) on the quality of the work of analysis (summary and criticism of the text), on the quality of the oral transmission (presentation to other students). As well written documents as the oral presentation are evaluated.
Each part applies for one half of final cotation. The cotation of works will not be communicated before the final examination.
