Teaching Methods
The majority of contact hours are spent working in the field in the co-operating primary school(s) (or in any other primary school context that may be relevant), in co-operative teaching practice with the AFD teacher/coach. These hours are articulated with TP classes where theoretical and practical content is approached and the discussion of some themes or situations emerging from practice in schools is promoted. Students will be organised in pairs. This organisation in pairs allows for cooperative work in terms of planning, intervention and self-evaluation, as well as reciprocal evaluations. Each group of students begins their work at the school with an initial period of participant observation, progressively assuming more autonomy in their teaching practice. Each group is supervised by a professor from UÉ.
Assessment
The assessment components are
In the continuous assessment regime: Performance at school (50%) + Report (50%)
In the final assessment system: Performance at school (40%) + Report (60%)
To be approved, the student must obtain a minimum of 10 values in each of the components.
The assessment of performance at school will focus on planning skills, pedagogical intervention/relationship, evaluation of one's own teaching and children's learning; co-operation, autonomy and innovation.
The report will be a document in which the student prepares, in a synthetic and rigorous way, in pedagogical and scientific terms, a description and reasoned critical analysis of the period of participant observation and periods of practice: Formal aspects (20%) + Content aspects (80%) - Description and justification of pedagogical issues; Coherence and relevance of planning, intervention and evaluation decisions; Reflective capacity and self-questioning; Explanation of the lessons learnt.
