The program

The Master 120 in Teaching section 4 - Biology consists of the following axes:

Training in and through practice

Organized around secondary school internships, this axis offers you the opportunity to discover various professional and social environments and aspects, and to develop and exercise your teaching skills there. During your internships, you'll acquire knowledge and refine your critical thinking on the challenges and issues involved in practice. You are supported in this realization by various professional practice analysis seminars.

Didactic and pedagogical training

The didactic courses focus on how to teach your discipline to your future students and how discipline-specific knowledge is constructed and evolves over time. They stimulate your creativity and give you the tools and methods to develop your future teaching sequences.

The pedagogy courses draw on different disciplines to lead you to design, operationalize and evaluate teaching sequences based on students' needs.

Training in the humanities and social sciences

The emotional, organizational, cultural and political dimensions complement your training to address the various facets of the teaching profession.

The Ethical and deontological aspects of the teaching profession and the foundation of neutrality course trains you to adopt an objective, unprejudiced attitude while respecting the diversity of opinions and values.

Training in and through research

Articulated around seminars and targeted coaching, this axis aims to discover and appropriate research methods in didactics and educational sciences. The culmination of this axis is not only the defense of an end-of-study dissertation on a topic chosen in consultation with the trainers, but above all the development of the identity of a practitioner-researcher.

Disciplinary courses

These courses complement your mastery of biology.

Epreuve liminaire écrite de maîtrise approfondie de la langue française (EMLF)

This is a compulsory diagnostic test of French language proficiency organized at the beginning of the year for all students enrolled for the first time in section 4 or 5. If you fail this test, a 5-credit remedial teaching unit will be added to your program (PAE).
