Learning unit contents
Practical Placement 2 is carried out in upper-secondary physics classes for a total of 40 hours.
These placements are accompanied by AFP (Ateliers de Formation Professionnelle - professional training workshops) designed to develop students' reflective posture before, during, and after the placement. Attendance at AFP is compulsory. Except in cases of force majeure as judged by the course coordinators, two absences (justified or not) result in an absence grade for the AFP component.
Students are expected to keep a reflective logbook throughout the placement to record classroom difficulties of any kind. This logbook underpins the student's reflective work. Students are also asked to maintain an organised folder containing all lesson plans, handouts provided to pupils, and the administrative documents related to the placement (host-teacher form, agreement, host-teacher reimbursement form, etc.).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the unit, students will be able to:
- prepare a lesson (define objectives, align with referentials/curricula, specify roles/tasks, timing);
- deliver a lesson in class, mobilising approaches adapted to context;
- analyse their practice and argue improvement avenues using observable evidence (logbook, classroom traces, feedback).
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students must demonstrate a good command of general physics concepts relevant to upper-secondary teaching.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Preparation, support, and reflective AFP are directly linked to the placement. AFP are exclusively face-to-face and attendance is compulsory (except force majeure as above; two absences trigger an absence grade for AFP).
The logbook is the central tool for reflective practice and must be completed rigorously.
For the placement, students receive a "trainee folder" and a "host-teacher folder" to hand to the host teacher at the start of the placement. Placements must take place within the indicated periods (exact dates communicated in class), unless explicitly agreed otherwise by the coordinators. The exact timetable for each placement is entered on the CeFEn platform; any change during the placement must also be recorded there and emailed to the three course supervisors (see contacts below).
Students are asked to diversify their placements (year groups, etc.).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
All AFP are face-to-face and attendance is compulsory. Times and rooms are listed in Celcat, the university's online timetable.
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus
Further information:
FWB referentials and curricula; in-class handouts; methodological resources.
Continuous assessment
Further information:
Summative joint assessment by the course supervisors and the host teacher, based in particular on:
- the quality of lesson plans;
- the implementation observed during visits;
- the post-placement report;
- the reflective posture developed in AFP and throughout the submitted documents.
Practical details (required documents, deadlines, organisation) are communicated in class and via institutional tools.
Each placement report must be uploaded to the DOX shared folder accessible to the student and the three supervisors by the stated deadline. Failure to meet the deadline may result in a grade of zero.
Work placement(s)
Placement 2 is completed in an upper-secondary physics class for a total of 40 hours. Hours and any adjustments must be recorded on the CeFEn platform.
Supervision by the General Didactics team may take two forms: an in-person classroom visit or an analysis of the lesson based on a video recorded by the student. At the end of the placement, students must submit a self-evaluation report. A document with precise information will be provided on eCampus.
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Documents (lesson plans, materials, logbook, etc.) are deposited in the shared DOX space communicated in class.
Encoding of hours and placement changes is done via the university's official platform. Any change-especially last-minute changes-must also be emailed to the three course supervisors.
One AFP session will be devoted to auto-heteroscopy (video-based self/peer analysis). Students must therefore record a lesson video during their placement and obtain the necessary authorisations. Detailed instructions will be provided on eCampus.
