Content
The aim of this teaching unit is to equip students to become future science and physics teachers, by enabling them to put into practice all the theoretical elements covered in the didactic and seminar courses during their internships.
The internships are of different types:
- Two internships (each consisting of 5 hours of observation and 15 hours of teaching) are organized in two different upper secondary schools, mainly in chemistry, but also in biology and physics; the UCLouvain-approved internship supervisors are chosen by the internship coordinators;
- A 5-hour work placement as a tutor for students with difficulties in chemistry;
- A 5-hour extracurricular activity (as part of Printemps des sciences or another type of event).

Teaching methods
The teaching activities will be carried out by the holder of the teaching unit, mainly in co-construction with the students.
Evaluation methods
Students enrolled in this seminar will be assessed as follows
Activity 1: a personal portfolio including a reflective work will be made on the basis of the contributions of the classroom sessions and the experiences of the internship (20% of the final mark);
Activity 2: a grade for the internships will be established in consultation with the internship supervisors, the holder and the teaching staff (80% of the final grade).
Each of the 2 activities must be passed with a mark equal to or higher than 10/20 for this UE to be passed. The absorbent mark principle is applied to this UE.
Attendance at the seminar is required. In accordance with article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, the Chairpersons may propose to the Jury that it oppose the registration of a student who has not attended 80% of the seminars during the June or September session.
