Content
This teaching unit consists of “equipping” students to become future high school mathematics teachers by encouraging them to put into practice, during their internships and in micro-teaching activities carried out during seminars, all the theoretical elements covered in the teaching methodology courses and seminars.
The long internship is carried out in two secondary schools, with internship supervisors who teach mathematics at the upper secondary level in a variety of contexts. The total number of hours for the internship is divided as follows: 15 hours of classroom observation, 55 hours of classroom teaching, and 20 hours of “out-of-class” activities related to the teaching profession, to be divided between the two internship schools. Internship supervisors are chosen by the internship coordinators.
The internship support seminar provides practical tools for preparing for the various aspects of the internship, as well as opportunities to share experiences, engage in reflective analysis, and receive individualized support.
Access to teaching internships is conditional on passing a test of mastery of the mathematical concepts to be taught in upper secondary school (grades 10, 11, and 12, including “mathematics for scientists”). Out of respect for the students and teachers who welcome trainees into their classrooms, it is essential that trainees have a thorough understanding of upper secondary mathematics concepts.

Teaching methods
Alternating teaching methods: face-to-face, independent and supervised work time, practical experience in a professional setting, supervision meetings.
The seminar is taught in person and is designed around a co-development dynamic (collaborative learning).

Evaluation methods
Internships and seminars will be evaluated by the teaching team. Students will be evaluated as follows:
Attendance at seminars is compulsory. Under Article 72 of the general regulations for studies and examinations, course instructors may propose to the jury that a student who has not attended at least 80% of the seminars during the June or September session be refused registration.
In the case of the use of generative AI, students are required to systematically and explicitly indicate all parts that have been subject to AI use, specifying whether AI was used to search for information, to write the text, or to correct it. In addition, sources of information must be systematically cited in accordance with bibliographic referencing standards. Students remain responsible for the content of their work, regardless of the sources used.
Internships cannot be repeated in the September session, as they take place in secondary schools. However, reflective work can be repeated in the September session.
- Internships: 75%
- Reflective work (oral presentation in May): 15%
- Test of mastery of secondary school concepts (early October, handwritten one-page cheat sheet allowed): 10%

Online resources
On Moodle UCLouvain, code LMAT2350. The Moodle space contains the documents presented and used during seminars and allows students to submit their work.
Bibliography
Des ouvrages et publication scientifiques en relation avec les disciplines enseignées et avec la pratique seront présentés lors des cours.
