Learning unit contents
Remedial sessions are first and foremost methodological aids for studying the course material. The following points are covered:
constructing a timeline
Making a mind map
Writing a 'chronological' summary
Taking notes
Blocking
In addition, the remedial sessions are structured around various major themes in Belgian political history. The following topics are covered:
The pairing system
The royal question
The two school wars
Constitutional revisions and state reforms
The evolution of political parties
Finally, formative assessments are organised every week using Wooclap. These assessments are based on sample questions from the previous academic year's exam.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
In the framework of the Histoire politique belge course, several learning objectives are pursued. These objectives are prioritised for the sake of clarity and for pedagogical reasons. Thus, you will be able to:
- to know and define the different factors underlying Belgian political history;
- describe the different stages of Belgian political history by describing the place of the political actors and basing yourself on a series of fundamental texts;
- to know a certain number of dates in Belgian political history (to do this, you can use a timeline that you can make yourself, integrating the different facets of Belgian political history). In order to understand the major stages of Belgian political history, you will have to rely on knowledge. This knowledge can be described as "essential": it consists of the main events in Belgian political history and the major events with which you will be able to juggle;
- to understand a series of fundamental texts that we read together by systematically asking ourselves the following questions: Who is the author of the document? What is the date and context? What is the content of the document? What conclusion do we draw from this reading?
