Teaching Focus [30.0]

The Masters 120 teaching focus is true to its word: it provides initial teacher training for higher level secondary teachers in the French Community of Belgium. More specifically, it includes the training ' Agrégation de l’enseignement secondaire supérieur' (AESS, 300h – 30 credits) leading to a diploma, in rerference to the decrees of 8 February, 2001 and 17 December, 2003 on the foundations of neutrality. In concrete terms, passing the teaching focus' of a master leads to the student obtaining the teaching focus master and the professional title 'agrégé de l'enseignement secondaire supérieur'.
At the end of his/her training, the student will have acquired skills relating to :
• the various functions of teaching ;
• thinking about, planning and evaluating practices;
• thinking about practices and their context ;
• understanding and analysing the school as an institution, its context and key players.
There are three types of activity :
• internships in higher secondary education (60h) ;
• seminars ;
• lectures.
Teaching is split into two categories :
• transversal interships, courses and seminars, common to all disciplines. They bear the code AGRE (13 credits ) ;
• internships, courses and seminars specific to the discipline(s) (17 credits ).
In the master en théologie, didactical research on teaching religion is not the subject of a specific course; rather, it unfolds in various teaching activities ("didactique de l’enseignement religieux", religious courses and seminars). Students can write their dissertation for the master in 'didactique de la religion'.
