Learning unit contents

« Professional didactics » and « practical support » are narrowly linked courses. They result in the candidate setting up within his High College a personal project born from a critical analysis of his own practical experience. This work is guided by meetings and presentations and will be described in a final written report

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

- Enabling the candidate to take a critical look at his professional practice. - Thanks to this critical analysis, enabling the candidate to set up in his High College an original project related to one of the professional competences described in the CAPAES decree (2002-07-17).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The candidate must have been an effective lecturer in a High College (in a "higher level social advancement institute") for at least 3 consecutive months. This requirement should ensure the candidate that he will be allowed to really carry out his project within his High College.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Collective workshops will be set up so that the candidates can share and develop together a reflexive analysis of their professional practice.
We will approach throughout these workshops the primary notions of professional didactics and their links with Education Sciences, Psychology and Speech Therapy.   The candidates will then be asked to have a critical look at the way they teach in their High College and partcularly to identify a challenge or a difficulty they would be willing to examine.
After these collective workshops, the candidates will have to suggest a novatory way to get over the dissatisfactions they experience throughout their profesionnal practice.
Individual support will also be given in addition to these collective workshops through meetings where views will be shared between the candidate, the ULG teaching staff and the candidate's High College tutors. The support will also consist of personal oral and written feedback information.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face to face seminars (negociated schedules according to the students'availibilities during the first course) and remote assistance.
