Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Science didactics is concerned with the teaching and learning of scientific disciplines.
The course will therefore cover both scientific subject content and didactic aspects related to the teaching and learning of this content.
For ease of reference, these different contents are listed separately below. However, the course will endeavour to work on them simultaneously in order to develop both the disciplinary content and the didactics for the students.
The lists below are potentially non-exhaustive.
Subject content (sciences) :
- Phylogenetic classification
- Representations / Initial conceptions
- Investigative approach
- Different types of experiment
- Characteristics of scientific knowledge
- Problematisation
- Types of questions and investigations
- Intermediate and final learning structures
- Learning misunderstandings
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of this course, students will be able to
- write a subject sheet on scientific content
- produce a sequence preparation sheet using scientific and didactic content
- analyse teaching and learning sequences in the light of theoretical frameworks derived from didactic research and covered during the course
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students are expected to master the use of "Référentiel des compétences initiales"
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is built around alternating practical activities carried out by the students (for example:document analysis, analysis of teaching and learning sequences, production of activities, etc.) and lectures by the teacher.
The practical activities proposed during the course will sometimes be individual, sometimes to be carried out in groups.
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
Further information:
A syllabus is available to students.
In order not to short-circuit certain activities during the course, certain parts of the syllabus will be made available after the course.
Complementary resources (for example: articles from the scientific and didactic literature), which are not compulsory, are also made available.
Written work / report
Further information:
May-June session
Assessment will be based on a written assignment.
The assignment will consist of three parts:
- an individual part (60% of the mark)
- a group part (40% of the mark)
- a peer assessment of the group part: this peer assessment is used to calculate a coefficient for each student. The final mark for the group part obtained by a student is calculated by multiplying the mark awarded to the group by the teacher by the coefficient calculated for that student. If a student does not submit the peer assessment, the coefficient awarded will be 0, resulting in a mark of 0 for the group part.
August-September session
The assessment will be based on individual written work.
The instructions for the work may differ between sessions.
Use of artificial intelligence
Students are required to read the ULiège Charter on the use of generative intelligence in academic work in order to use it in a thoughtful, responsible, critical and transparent manner:
https://www.student.uliege.be/cms/c_19230399/fr/faq-student-charte-uliege-d-utilisation-des-intelligences-artificielles-generatives-dans-les-travaux-universitaires.
If students use artificial intelligence, they must provide detailed information about their use of AI in a dedicated section: tool used, prompt, type of assistance requested (rewording, summarising, analysis, brainstorming, linguistic correction, documentary research, etc.), results obtained, critical assessment of these results, sections of the work concerned.
Any omission or concealment of the use of AI may be considered a violation of academic integrity rules.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The course is organized as a module of two consecutive days.
More specifically, the course is built on an alternation of practical activities requiring student participation and theoretical input provided by the teacher.
Because of this structure, attendance is strongly recommended. In fact, taking part in the various activities proposed in the course will enable students to take ownership of its content.
