Programme structure

The programme is structured around two training axes:

1. the "analysis of practices" axis :

  • A teaching unit focusing on professional development and the development of skills as a teacher educator in higher education (teaching methods specific to higher education, design of teaching and evaluation programmes for higher education, etc.)
  • Two units focusing on initial and continuing teacher training (construction of teachers' professional identity, specific methodology for initial training)
  • A specific UE, targeting didactic approaches to the subjects taught both in the way of designing and teaching in a teacher training programme and in the way of designing and teaching in training programmes for students in sections 1, 2 or 3
  • An Analysis of practices seminar (10 ects), spread over the two quadrimesters and aimed at the integration of axis 1

2. the " reflective perspective on pre-service teacher training programmes and their effects " axis :

  • A teaching unit focusing on research in initial and continuing teacher training
  • Two specific units, targeting pedagogical approaches to compulsory education on the one hand, and the social dimensions of the school and the taking into account of diversities (in the classroom, in the school in collaboration with its colleagues, with parents and school partners, etc.)
  • A seminar for supporting and promoting the 'Thesis' (15 ects) aiming at integrating Axis 2.

Two capstone papers will be assessed at the end of each axis, in order to validate all the UEs of the axis

Access to adults

To enable the programme to be organised, each unit will be scheduled over periods of 4 days in face-to-face sessions with reading and analysis work to be completed before or after these sessions. The sessions dedicated to various support seminars will be spread across different face-to-face days, allowing student support in their synthesis work throughout the year. Practical experience will be emphasized in the context of the seminar on the analysis of practices in axis 1 and will be essential for the empirical dimension to be carried out in axis 2, within the framework of the seminar and the master's thesis completion.

The whole programme therefore involves about 30 days of training for 60 credits (16 to 18 days/year for axis 1 and 13 to 15 days for axis 2).
