Pedagogy
This track focuses on introductory pedagogical theoretical frameworks that can be used to create a positive and inclusive classroom and school climate. Two professional roles are emphasized: teacher as educator and teacher as organizer. In addition to the introductory frameworks on positive and inclusive classroom climate a series of workshops will be held on specific topics such as: multilingual education, gender sensitive education, dealing with violent extremism and radicalisation, culturally responsive education, parental involvement, bullying, drug prevention, sustainable development goals …
Domain specific applications
This part focuses on the design of subject-oriented education by applying the general frameworks around differentiation, growth-oriented evaluation and language-oriented economics and/or law education. Furthermore, attention is also paid to innovative themes that contribute to a positive and inclusive learning and living environment for economics and/or law, such as financial literacy and legal competences, research competences, organizing excursions and company visits, workplace learning, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship. These themes are studied from the standpoint of didactic scientific research as well as from the practical implementation in the classroom.
Reflective and Inquiry-Based Practice
During the reflection session in a small group, students analyze the full complexity of classroom practice. The session is structured according to the framework of GRROW coaching. Students integrate in their reflection offered frames of reference that contribute to the design of a positive and inclusive living environment (pathway pedagogy and subject didactics) and independently consult scientific sources to strengthen the reflection. During the session, students actively contribute to the reflection of their fellow students by applying coaching skills (e.g. involved confrontation, challenging, inspiring, allowing and giving space, relaxing...). Assignments for preparation and aftercare of the session are included in the portfolio (e.g. learning questions concerning classroom practice). The portfolio consists of 4 different themes: reflective skills, coaching skills, vision and professional competences. Combining these 4 themes shapes the personal development plan.
