Learning unit contents
During DS partim II, lectures and practical exercises will continue to explore the issues raised during DS partim I and will address the following questions:
How can we assess the suitability of skills-based learning in biological sciences for students? How can we establish contacts and exchanges with stakeholders close to the school environment who can help students and teachers in their professional practice?
How can teachers broaden their training to develop their profession? How should science teachers approach school trips with science students? How did scientific knowledge originate and evolve? How can teachers engage in continuing professional development?
How can teachers develop a specific methodology for teaching science to technical and professional audiences? How can teachers conduct experiments with students and make effective use of ICT? How should teachers assess students' learning outcomes in biology?
What image do we convey of science? What values? What ethics? How can we educate responsible citizens? How can we approach EVRAS and QSV (socially sensitive issues)?
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objectives pursued in DS partim I are maintained, and the specific objectives for this second part are as follows:
- Encourage future teachers to establish links between their epistemological and didactic positions and student learning
- Create a learning activity and justify the choices made in light of theoretical concepts
- Work on building their professional identity
- Take a step back from their teaching profession, be able to listen student's difficulties and be able to call people to take over
- Write an assessment that allows them to check what students have learned
- Learn to go beyond the traditional school setting and dare to visit places outside the school with students.
