Content
This teaching unit consists in "equipping" students to become future biology teachers at D2. The aim is not only to present the elements of didactics related to the teaching of biology but also to ensure the transfer and appropriation of these tools by future teachers.
Teaching methods
The teaching activities are those recommended in secondary education: group work, lectures, flipped classes, laboratories... mainly in co-construction with the students.
Evaluation methods
Students enrolled in the geography or mathematics aggregation, only in module LBIO2340 C, are evaluated in January as follows:
Biology laboratory activities: 20% of the total grade
Written test (November) regarding the basic concepts to be taught in D2 Biology: 10% of the total grade
10-hour observation internship report in biology: 30% of the total grade
Individual written evaluation (January) concerning the concepts covered in didactics and epistemology of biology: 40% of the total grade
Attendance to this course is required. In accordance with article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, the course instructor may propose to the jury that a student who has not attended at least 80% of the courses during the January or September session be refused registration.
