Content |
The course consists in: an introduction to the behaviour of learning groups and to the roles of a tutor; an "internship" as a teaching assistant or as a tutor to manage groups of learners for a course in a subject area of the student's choice (approval of a professor responsible for the course is required); the work will apply various pedagogical approaches developed at UCL and will be supervised by a "internship supervisor" in cooperation with the course's teacher; continuous education, as a complement to the tutoring activity, in order to stimulate reflection on the roles of the teacher and of the group facilitator for the course; readings on various themes of interest. The student is expected to build a portfolio during his/her tutoring activity.
