Course Content

Learning Pathway Professional Practice

In this course unit, students start with 2 hours of co-teaching within the domain of art history/sciences. The form of co-teaching depends on the needs of the situation. Subsequently, a supervised practice internship for teaching art history/sciences is conducted. Students design lessons (7h) which they also carry out in class practice, in the presence of the mentor.

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 Pathway Pedagogical Content Knowledge

In this learning pathway, the student builds on ingredients regarding the (re)design of a powerful learning environment that were covered in Subject Teaching 1. In addition, themes are also brought in that are related to the Positive and Inclusive Living Environment course component, among other things aimed at designing an appropriate caring learning and living climate for students and at lesson implementation. This includes building blocks such as around inclusive evaluation or polarization and connecting/violent communication. The student also considers current debates and interpretations around cross-curricular education. Finally, the student integrates (in a paper) digital and narrative skills and (didactic) researching and reflective action, based on a concrete teaching practice.

Additional info regarding evaluation
  • A final grade can only be calculated if a score was obtained for each category of the evaluation. Not participating in one or more categories results in the mention ‘afwezig’ (afw). 
  • A student can only pass the course unit if at least 7/20 is obtained for each category. The final score awarded is then the grade assigned to the lowest scored category.
  • It is obligatory to communicate in a timely fashion (see agreements in internship guidelines). Belated communication can lead to a score 'afwezig' (afw.) for the internship.
  • If the grade for the practical exam is insufficient, a remedial trajectory with binding agreements is proposed in order to continue with the internship for the next course unit.
  • If the total score of the internship is insufficient, the student cannot pass this course unit. Retaking the practical part can only be done in the following useful session. In the case of a referral to the next session, the titular can allow the transfer of the grades of the successfully completed sections.
