Content
The main objective of this course is to introduce students to a social psychological lens of interpretation of reality and its relevance to the analysis of teaching and training situations.
The main themes covered will be social judgement, impression formation, social influence, attribution and social
explanation, self and identity, intragroup processes, leadership and decision-making, intergroup relations, prejudice
and discrimination, aggression and pro-social behaviour.
From a practical point of view, this will entail bringing the theoretical material presented into dialogue with the teaching and training situations encountered or imagined by the students.

Evaluation methods
The assessment aims to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes. It will take two forms: an individual written exam and a group written assignment. The details of the exam and group work will be communicated during the first class.
The final grade is the arithmetic average of the grades obtained in the exam (A) and for group work (B). For the final grade, part A is worth 10/20 and part B is worth 10/20.
Exam (in French): 10/20 and therefore 50% of the final grade
The multiple-choice section of the written exam consists of 20 items with 5 answer options; 0.5 points are awarded for each correct answer and no points are awarded for no answer or incorrect answers.
The open-ended part of the written examination consists of 2 questions chosen from a total of 3 proposed questions.
5 points are awarded for each complete and correct answer, and 0 points for no answer or an incorrect answer.
Group work (in French): 10/20 and therefore 50% of the final grade.
The group work requires you to link theories and models seen in the course to your practice as a teacher/trainer. Please refer to the assessment grid and the instructions (on Moodle) for more details about the assignment. The objectives of the assignment are as follows:
To enable verification of compliance with these guidelines, students must retain records of any interactions they may have had with any content-generation tools they used until their grades are released. Time-stamped transcripts must be archived so that the teaching staff can conduct the necessary verifications.
As a reminder, any use of generative artificial intelligence tools that violates these guidelines may result in the initiation of the procedure for academic misconduct set forth in Articles 107 and following of the General Regulations on Studies and Evaluations, and may lead to academic sanctions.
The work may be subject to an oral defense.
The evaluation modalities remain the same for all sessions in a given academic year. Passed parts of the evaluation (i.e., the exam our the group work) will remain valid during the academic year.

The group work requires you to link theories and models seen in the course to your practice as a teacher/trainer. Please refer to the assessment grid and the instructions (on Moodle) for more details about the assignment. The objectives of the assignment are as follows:
- To in depth explore a topic (that resonates with you: a model, a theory, a process, a phenomenon) addressed in one of the courses (topics not addressed are possible after consultation)
- To relate this topic to a real-life (or hypothetical) situation
- To delineate how a theoretical/scientific approach allows for a better understanding of this situation
- To explain how the situation and your analyses might provide insights for theory / the theoretical approach
