Learning unit contents
During DS partim I, we will address some essential points for becoming a biology teacher:
-What is teaching? What is learning? Examining scientific knowledge and its didactic transposition, from the perspective of both the teacher and the student; giving meaning to learning
-How can we base our actions on research in science education?
-What active methods are used in teaching today, in line with the reality in the field? How can we organise practical scenarios and learning exercises?
These questions will be addressed through theoretical lessons, practical scenarios, exercises, readings, etc. These approaches will enable future teachers to master concepts that will be useful in their future professional practice.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the DS partim I course, students will be able to:
- master the teaching concepts necessary to ensure relevant biology teaching, adapted to students, with a view to providing them all with the skills required for their level;
- make choices regarding the use of models, approaches and diagrams for teaching and learning...
- develop their reflective approaches in order to begin building their professional identity as biology teachers.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
High-quality scientific training acquired during university studies (animal and plant biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, veterinary medicine, etc.). Scientific knowledge will be assessed at the beginning of the course to enable students to remedy any gaps in their knowledge in a formative manner.
Sufficient proficiency in the language of instruction (French) is required and will be tested during the programme. Additional credits may be awarded if necessary.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The training is intended to be a concrete training in active methods:
- Practical scenarios are organised on topics such as investigative approaches in the classroom, problem-solving, conceptual changes, epistemology, models and diagrams in biology, and the development of teaching materials.
- Work and readings at home, related to research in teaching methods and the epistemology of science is organised.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
Face-to-face courses, presence required. Classes for the course and for exercises are on Wednesdays (defined in schedule on Celcat at the begining of school year). Enthusiastic participation from each student is necessary in order for the training staff to do their job.
