Objectives of general skills

• Analyse a situation of teaching and learning in reference to theories and methodological approaches resulting from developments in educational sciences.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques used in various fields of educational sciences in order to understand a teaching-learning situation.
• Analyse and model an educational action by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Develop and support a teaching-learning device, and implement and evaluate it.
• Master knowledge about different teaching-learning devices as well as implement them.
• Critically analyse the extent and limitations of different teaching-learning devices.
• Develop a teaching-learning device, including tools, in a rigorous and justified manner, taking into account all relevant factors in a given context.

UE's Learning outcomes

Building on a specific theme (the discovery of spaces in 2015-2016), the EU aims to develop:
- the theoretical mastery of key concepts applied to different disciplines and this in a multidisciplinary approach (conceptualization, representations, didactic transposition, etc.);
- the practical mastery of the principal concepts (reflections on the implementation of concepts in teaching-learning sequences);
- the ability to understand relations between the didactic and assessment in a broad sense of the term;
- the link between teaching and the curriculum to teach;
- the ability to implement instructional sequences already developed;
- the ability to share with the class group about the concepts and implementation of the teaching-learning sequence;
- the ability to perform a reflexive return on the pedagogical sequence;
- the ability to introduce, in the form of an oral presentation, the reflexive return and propose necessary adjustments in light of the scientific literature.
