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 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 strictly required); the work will apply various pedagogical approaches developed at UCLouvain 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.
Teaching methods
The tutor candidate shall participate since the VERY beginning of the quadrimester to several teaching activities during which he/she will be placed in real situations of supervised tutoring. He/she shall also participate to several learning modules distributed along the quadrimester. The participation is required since the VERY first day of the quadrimester.
During the quadrimester, he/she will have an "internship" during which he/she will act as tutor for the discipline he/she has chosen AND has been selected in advance.
