written exam AND oral exam

Other : Videoscopy


Additional information:

The student will prepare, carry out and film a real interview on a subject discussed in the course (i.e. occupational clinic, skills management or demand analysis for workplace interventions).

The exam consists of presentating the performance and the student's critical analysis of it.


Evaluation :

January:

- Written exam based on theory (both cohorts).
- Master in psychology: Oral exam based on a video of an interview: (20' for the video, 20' for the analysis and 20' for the professor feedback).

 

June:

- Master in sciences of education: 

The practical part, specifically designed for adult education students, will aim to enable each of them to conduct an interview with a strong learning and development component.

This interview will be subject to constructive peer review and self-reflection by the protagonist.

Ideally, subject to logistical and technical feasibility, this interview will be filmed.

The evaluation of this practical part will consist of attendance at the practical sessions as well as reflective feedback from the student on their learning, discoveries, questioning and projections concerning the conduct of interviews.

To pass the whole course, the student will have to meet the requirements of both the theoretical and practical parts.
