Prerequisites
To follow this Teaching Unit, the student must have credited (Prerequisites) or be simultaneously enrolled (Co-requisites) in the Teaching Units LHIST2301 and LHIST2302.
Main themes
The Teaching Unit consists of a series of internships and accompanying seminar sessions. The internships and seminars are related to the didactics of history.
For the internships:
In accordance with Title II, Chapter V of the RFIE 2021 decree, the student-intern will be placed in a professional situation in secondary education establishments, whether mainstream. In certain cases, they may also be in specialized education establishments, full-time or in alternation, in adult education or reduced-hour artistic secondary education.
These professional situations should allow the student to test their professional project, progressively develop their professional identity, cultivate a reflective practitioner attitude, deepen their disciplinary knowledge, particularly in history didactics, as well as develop skills in pedagogical differentiation, remediation, personalized support, skills related to the social role of the teacher, and the gradual learning of independent and team work.
In these professional situations, the student-intern will need to carry out in-class activities (observing teachers and learners, teaching). If the classroom observation and teaching activities are successfully completed, the student may complement these activities with out-of-class activities (such as observing the school institution, socio-professional insertion/social organizational activities, active participation in year, subject, interdisciplinary meetings, projects linked to educational plans, remediation periods, participation in a pedagogical day, in a class council, in collective or individual parent-teacher meetings…).
For the seminar accompanying the internships:
Regarding the internship support, the collective seminars will focus on teacher identity, the interns' representations, the pedagogical, didactic, relational, social, and organizational dimensions of professional practice, and reflexivity.
