Teaching Qualification for Upper Secondary Education - Physics

La séance d’information 2024 est maintenant passée. 
Retrouvez, ci-dessous, les enregistrements de celle-ci en vidéos et en PPT.

Le premier cours débutera le lundi 16 septembre à 9h, local b52.

• Les cours du tronc commun de l’AESS 
• Les cours spécifiques pour les AESS en sciences 
• Les cours de didactique de la biologie, de la chimie et de la physique
• Les cours de didactique des mathématiques  

The training offered in Namur aims for a systemic approach to the act of teaching and its complexity.

Its multiple components are structured around three main poles, each comprising theoretical and practical aspects:

• didactics of disciplines and their epistemologies
• school education and society
• psycho-pedagogy of learning and teaching

These components are integrated with one another through internships in schools and other institutional settings, as well as through theory-practice integration seminars. These internships and seminars enable questions arising from practice to be addressed by articulating the multiple viewpoints inherent in the above poles.

More than simply alternating theory and practice, the aim is to achieve genuine integration. To this end, these integration seminars take the form of TP and TD associated with each theoretical component, thus opening up to various professional and social locations and aspects. Thanks to these seminars, the questions raised by students are taken into account, and the learning of future agrégés is approached from a problem-solving perspective.

Another specific feature of the Namur training program is to develop :

• a systematic process of personal and professional development that the teacher will pursue in a work situation; it's more a question of initiating in the future teacher an autonomous learning process than of seeing him or her as a "consumer" of finished products ;
• a reflective approach by students, helping them to build conceptual tools that help them to decode professional practices, their presuppositions and their likely implications;
• their perception of the global context in which the act of teaching takes place; an opening-up of students to other disciplines from several points of view: identification of cross-disciplinary skills, concepts common to the didactics of the various disciplines, learning about interdisciplinarity, methodology for learning the basics of another discipline...
• a certain polyvalence of agrégés in experimental sciences, as required to teach the science curriculum (at the second level of secondary education, the same teacher teaches all three sciences, and the vast majority of third-level teachers teach at least two).

This program reinforces the relational, ethical and epistemological aspects of the initial training currently offered to future teachers. It thus aims to provide students with the basic tools to tackle a first professional activity validly, on which ongoing training can be grafted to improve teaching effectiveness.

It gives teacher training credibility with other institutional players: management, inspectorates, the business world, parents and students!

Some important remarks:

• The training approach is based on active student participation in the various courses. Attendance is therefore mandatory to enable student progress.
• Registration for the agrégation is based on validation of a file by the various people involved in your training. This process may therefore take longer than expected. You are therefore urged to attend the first classes of the year even if you have not yet received confirmation of your registration from the registration department.
• No enrolment requests will be processed after September 30.

First quadrimester

Courses are taught on Monday all day (08:30-17:00) and Wednesday afternoon (14:00-18:15).

Second quadrimester

Courses are taught on Monday all day (08:30 to 17:00) and Wednesday afternoon (14:00 to 18:15) as well as Saturday morning (09:00 to 12:00).

Attention, this schedule does not take into account internship hours, which must be organized in consultation with internship masters.

The arrangement of the timetable makes it impossible to enroll in the same academic year for the mathematics didactics course, on the one hand, and the chemistry and biology didactics courses, on the other.

The AESS in science remains a 30-credit course (i.e. half-time). This involves the completion of assignments that are not taken into account in the timetable.

Science didactics courses are organized on three different poles, all located within walking distance of each other:

• the new Faculty of Sciences (Local TP S11) - Rue Joseph Grafé, 2 B-5000 Namur
• the Department of Mathematics - Rue Rempart de la Vierge, 8 B-5000 Namur
• the Department of Biology (Locaux b.52 et b.53) - Rue de Bruxelles, 59 B-5000 Namur
