Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
The topics addressed are those related to the teaching of physics in the third degree :
· the conceptual difficulties related to the topics to be taught in physics,
· the interest and use of experimental and non-experimental activities, which are essential in physics.
Practical sessions to implement essential experiments in physics and to analyse learning difficulties.

a. Contribution of the teaching unit to the learning outcomes of the programme (PHYS2MA) 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 b. Specific learning outcomes of the teaching unit At the end of this teaching unit, the student will be able to : 1. use the disciplinary didactics and epistemology that guide pedagogical action in third-degree physics classes ; 2. transfer scholarly knowledge into school knowledge in physics at the third degree ; 3. design and plan teaching-learning (TL) situations according to the students concerned and in relation to the competency frameworks and programmes; 4. demonstrate mastery of the new disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge to be taught ; 5. explore new disciplinary, interdisciplinary and technological approaches and teaching tools ; 6. design, conduct and evaluate an experimental sequence ; 7. interrogate his/her representations and initial conceptions with a view to making them evolve ; 8. adopt a reflexive attitude towards teaching practices based on didactic and pedagogical principles as well as educational research. |

Content
This teaching unit consists in "tooling" the students to become future physics teachers in the third degree. The aim is to present the elements of didactics related to the teaching of physics in the third degree but also to ensure the transfer and the appropriation of these tools by the future teachers through course preparations.
Teaching methods
The teaching activities will be carried out by the holder of the teaching unit, mainly in co-construction with the students (group work, learning by projects, practical work, ...), but will also include lectures, personal readings, preparation of reports, ...
Evaluation methods
The involvement of students in the teaching unit will be an important part of the final evaluation. At the end of the teaching unit, the students will be brought to make a personal file including a sequence of TL ; this sequence will ideally present an experimental dimension. The evaluation will consist of the student's testimony of his/her expertise in the conception of this TL sequence during an oral examination.
Other information
The teaching unit LPHYS2471 is a compulsory didactical teaching unit for students enrolled in the Aggregation in physics and an optional teaching unit for students enrolled in the Aggregation in biology or chemistry. Option Graduate Program for students enrolled in the Biology or Chemistry program.
