Learning unit contents
Teaching placements
Teaching placements are crucial moments of progressive appropriation of the teacher's skills to be acquired. Students must be deeply involved in the preparation of courses and in the services entrusted to them. The trainee must give a written commitment to respect the institution, the supervisor and the students in front of him/her, both morally and pedagogically. Failure to respect these rules will result in the termination of the course. Internships will be an opportunity for the student to be confronted with different types of teaching, different ways of teaching and different audiences.
Reflexive practical work
Students will be able to gain perspective with regard to their own teaching practice during teaching exercises and practice teaching; there will be many occasions for students to analyze their own practices in order to improve. The reflective posture can take place into the teaching practice during all the cursus and in collaboration with DG course.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
These are hours of observation or assistance in supervising learners outside the classic context of classroom lessons. The student can propose an activity to the teacher of didactics for validation.
Examples of such activities are :
- activities specifically aimed at secondary school students but organised outside the school context (supervising students during a field trip, during the Printemps des Sciences...)
- activities for secondary school students, organised by associations or extracurricular organisations (continuing education organisations, non-profit organisations providing scientific activities...).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Teaching placements
The main objective of the teaching internships is to put the future teacher in the position to act as close as possible to his/her future professional practice. These teaching situations lead future teachers to mobilise the skills of their teaching profession that they have acquired during their initial teacher education.At the end of the placements, the student will be able to carry out placement planning, complete lesson preparation, build a relationship with the students and with the class group that is conducive to learning, design geography learning systems appropriate to the students and based on active pedagogy that makes the students actors in their learning, implement the learning (organisational and management skills), to design an evaluation consistent with the objectives pursued and the learning activities proposed to the students, reflect on their practice and come back to it with a view to improving it.
Reflexive practical work
Students will be able to: analyse their practices in order to improve them, alone and in groups; analyse the practices of others in order to enrich their vision of teaching in geography; take into account their own representations of the profession in order to make them evolve; define ways of improving their teaching practice and points to deepen their own learning.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
To discover other aspects of the teaching job.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Teaching placements
The different parts of the exam DD Partim I must have been taked and the student attends the DD Partim II course (attendance required).
To obtain access to the internships, the student must have signed the internship charter and have participated in the course sessions and exercises. If, during the activities, gaps are noted, the disciplinary didactics service reserves the right, as individualised assistance, to impose additional conditions for access to the teaching internships and possibly to postpone them. The student will have to comply with the internship rules provided during the disciplinary didactics course.
Reflexive practical work
To have made the teaching practices attended.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
The different parts of the exam DD Partim I must have been taked and the student attends the DD Partim II course (attendance required).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching placements
The courses and workshops are designed to prepare students to diversify their ways of teaching.
Reflexive practical work
The acquisition of a reflexive posture in his internship practice will be worked on throughout the training. Feedback sessions are organised after the training periods: everyone can share their experiences and analyse those of others.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
The student can propose an activity to the didactics teacher for validation.
For instance:
- activities specifically aimed at secondary school students but organised outside the school context (supervising students during a field trip, during the Printemps des Sciences...)
- activities for secondary school students, organised by associations or extracurricular organisations (continuing education organisations, non-profit organisations providing scientific activities...).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Teaching in classrooms.
Reflexive practical work
Presential and during the internships. Time spent in reflection on practice is not separated from time in class or time spent doing exercises: post-internship discussions, analysis of shared practices, and discussion of practices are opportunities to work on this.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
Participation at the activities.

Additional information:
During all the courses (parts I and II), the student will have three visits by the members of the teaching staff. The aim of these visits is to identify the working context, the difficulties and strengths, as well as the progression in the teaching profession (construction of professional identity). Depending on each student's availability and after the observed lesson, the student will have the opportunity to discuss his/her skills, difficulties or questions, in the presence of the supervisor if possible. An internship folder will be required. This will be in accordance with the instructions given, will be made available during the course visits and will be returned on time.
Two reports will be issued for supervision internships: an internship report issued by the company tutor and a visit report drawn up by a member of the teaching staff who carries out a visit.
Instructions and evaluation criteria are communicated to the students (visit + internship folder).
During the placement, the student will receive regular feedback from the company tutor and from the teaching staff member after the visit.
The subject didactics teacher can call on the team responsible for general didactics to request an additional visit in order to cross eyes.
In the event of a serious problem, the course instructor may request that the course be stopped. In this case, the teacher of disciplinary didactics will advise according to the situation.
Formative evaluation :
- The student presents a draft sequence during a workshop and receives feedback from fellow students and the subject didactics teacher;
- the first internship, which takes place in November, is evaluated by the internship supervisor and by the didactics member, who makes a visit, on the basis of a limited number of criteria provided to the student and examines the lesson preparations in the internship folder.
Certification evaluation:
The evaluation of the internships (January-February and March-April), is based on two points of view:
- the tutor's point of view (each lesson is rated; a final mark takes into account the trainee's progress; a detailed report allows the student to take stock of his or her strengths and weaknesses);
- that of the didactic member (internship visit + examination of the lesson preparations in the internship folder during the visit).
The evaluation criteria and indicators are detailed in a training contract given to the students and the company tutor. Placement evaluation takes account of the trainee's progress. The evaluation grid highlights when the criteria and indicators are subject to formative or certification evaluation.
No second session will be organised for internships and a mark of less than 10/20 will result in the student being postponed.
If preparation for the day's course(s) is not present during the visit, the visit will be sanctioned by a mark of Insufficiency.
An incorrectly filled in timetable (false or incomplete address; incorrect timetable) leading to the impossibility of a visit to a work placement may lead to the deletion of the 5 periods of work placement account.
Reflexive practical work
The evaluation of reflexive practices will be continuous, throughout the exercises, micro-teachingand the reports of internships.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
Written work / report
Additional information:
A report into the portfolio (brief description and analysis of the followed activities) according to the instructions provided.
Work placement(s)
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Teaching placements
The Partim I and Partim II courses are carried out in different networks and sectors. In total, the trainee will have supervised 40 periods of classes.
Reflexive practical work
Linked to the DG self-heteroscopy sessions.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
It is imperative that the student assumes his or her commitments until the end of the activities.
Out-of-class school practices can take place during the course, but also at other times. In this case, in order for the student to be covered by insurance, he or she must notify the disciplinary didactics teacher and fulfil the institutional conditions to allow the student to leave.
