Aiming at the professional development of teacher educators, the teaching units are designed to support the completion of the two final capstone assignments for each axis of the programme (portfolio of analysis of practice and master thesis). To this end, the classes in the teaching units will be based on the reading of key texts and will aim at the collective appropriation of theoretical frameworks, with the support of the programme's teachers and through interaction with peers.
It will therefore be a question of - from the description and analysis of their practices - to finalize a master thesis project, which will aim to improve them by carrying out applied research in their professional environment. Theoretical analysis frameworks and tools will be proposed and worked on, so that everyone can use them for its work.
In line with the SoTL approach, the output of the dissertation will be twofold: a written output, which may take the form of a research article, for example, and an oral presentation, aimed at disseminating the results of the work to other teachers in higher education, either within the institution or as part of events for the dissemination of research or practice.
