Main themes
This course takes today's main aspects of the teaching of philosophy into account. 
Should philosophizing be taught/learned or should philosophy be taught/learned? This question is at the heart of this course with as corollary the common elaboration of what deserves to be taught in philosophy and how to teach it. It goes without saying that this teaching is aimed at the last two years of secondary school. 
This course is an integral part of the disciplinary courses provided for candidates in Masters in Didactics and in Teacher Training where the question on the role philosophy should play in the students' school programme is underlying, possibly as a basis for a real interdisciplinarity or at least as a mediator. The main objective of all academic courses in the Master's degree in didactics and the teacher training programme is to highlight the role that philosophical thinking could play in the everyday life of each citizen.

He will have achieved a critical reading of these and will have practiced devising original teaching lessons which are adapted to the different degrees of secondary school (development of the students' final skills).
