Learning pathway professional practice
This internship consists of 4 hours of participatory observation and related assignments. The student performs one individual mini lesson within the domain of this course. Active participation in the mini-lessons is mandatory in order to be allowed to start the internship in teaching methodology 2.
For students with LIO status: in-service internship of 28 hours (and if applicable pre-service or alternative internship). The students give an individual mini-lesson within the domain of this course. Active participation in the mini lessons is mandatory in order to be allowed to start the internship in teaching methodology 2. 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.
Learning pathway pedagogical content knowledge
In this course, in addition to the situation of law in current Flemish education, specific attention is paid to translating subject-specific concepts and frames of reference for creating an optimally powerful learning environment within law. Students learn to take into account the sustainability aspects of law in a globalizing world. For law teaching methodology, students work in teacher design teams. This means that in groups of maximum four students they (re) design curriculum materials in the field of law. The students learn how they can translate official learning goals and curricula into practice, but also how social and political discussions and new scientific insights (can) have an impact on their classroom practice.
The common thread throughout this course is the step-by-step subject-specific support in the design of a powerful learning environment so that these can be tested at the end of this course. Students have the opportunity to give an individual mini-lesson within the domain of law.
