Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The cours chemistry and associated didactics I covers the following topics, encouraging active student participation:
- Fundamental concepts of science teaching and chemistry teaching methods
- Techniques for introducing and planning chemistry lessons
- Linking competency objectives from the reference framework to content objectives in chemistry
- Teaching methods using laboratories: demonstration laboratories, use in lesson sequences, experimental lessons, discovery-based teaching, etc.
- Methods for conceptual change, including analysis of students' preconceptions and pluralism
These teaching contents will be illustrated primarily by chemistry subject content from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation's science reference framework, and secondarily by physics and biology content.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Upon completion of this course, future teachers will be able to:
- demonstrate attention to the intellectual development of each student;
- guide learning during chemistry laboratory sessions;
- evaluate the results of their educational activities;
- question their pedagogical effectiveness;
- master communication and expression techniques;
- plan a sequence of lessons taking into account competency objectives;
- master learning techniques based on conceptual change.
Students will become able to take a personal, critical and responsible stance towards different teaching styles.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A good knowledge of the basic discipline (chemistry) is essential (level equivalent to a bachelor's degree in chemistry).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Numerous practical assignments will be implemented: laboratory work, micro-teaching, development of experimentation-based teaching, articulation of the general objectives of the reference framework and content objectives, teaching sequence.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus
- MyULiège
- Microsoft Teams
Further information:
Documents relating to the topics covered in each lesson are provided to students.
The following book is recommended for reviewing the fundamental concepts of chemistry:
Chimie, 1350 cm3 d'exercices corrigés pour la licence 1, A. Agnello, B. Leyh, B. Nihant, L. Quinton and C. Xhrouet, Dunod (2021)
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam AND oral exam
Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Further information:
A sufficient grasp of the chemistry concepts related to the topics covered in class is essential for obtaining an overall mark of 10/20 or higher.
For continuous assessment, two assignments will be due during the year. The details of these assignments (due dates, instructions, format) will be outlined in a document that will be provided to students.
Work placement(s)
There are no internships associated with this course specifically, but links will be made with internships in the S4 Master's programme (SSTG0171).
