Course Content

Learning Path Professional Practice

In this course unit, students start with 2 hours of co-teaching within the domain of Behavioral Sciences. The kind of co-teaching depends on the contextual needs. After these 2h, students develop and deliver lessons in the field of Behavioral Sciences under the supervision of a mentor teacher who is present in the classroom. This part of the internship comprises of 7 hours of teaching. 

For students with LIO status: in-service internship of 28 hours (and if applicable pre-service or alternative internship). If the assignment volume is between 200 and 499 teaching hours, the student may not be able to perform sufficient unique teaching hours for this course unit. In that case, additional assignments from the regular track will be given in proportion to the missing hours. In cases where the LIO student has no or insufficient teaching assignment within the field of this course unit, an additional assignment is given from the regular track , i.e. guided practice internship. Here the student designs lessons that are carried out in classroom practice, in the presence of the mentor. 

Learning Path Pedagogical Content Knowledge

Within "Vakdidactiek PPW 2" students further deepen their knowledge of the subject didactics of behavioural sciences. On the basis of curriculum issues (from their internship practice), they learn to situate a subject-oriented learning environment within the educational frame of reference by studying, among other things, its vertical and horizontal coherence. In a blended learning environment, the students study which actors and factors are important at the various aggregation levels. Topics such as differentiation, evaluation and feedback, motivation and class management will be addressed and included in their internship experiences. A link will also be made to concepts within the field of behavioural sciences. By means of seminars, didactic research will be given a prominent place within this course unit.
