Learning outcomes

C2 knowledge and understanding of the training environments in which you will be practising and those in which your future students will be practising;  
 
C6 the ability to observe, analyse and evaluate elements of professional teaching practice with a view to advising and helping to readjust these practices, drawing in particular on the results of scientific research in education, in the didactics of the subjects to be taught, in psychology, in the sociology of education and in gender studies, concerning in particular cultural diversity, socio-economic inequalities and gender;  
 
C7 the ability to carry out, individually and with peers, a critical and rigorous analysis of one's own practices and their impact on students and student success, in particular by drawing on various disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, in order to regulate one's teaching with a view to effectiveness and equity. All of these objectives are part of an epistemological distancing and a systemic vision.
