    3. Course contents

    In this course student teachers have to carry out an individual practitioner research project during practice placement to explore a specific point of interest or concern. The main aim is to develop the own knowledge base about the chosen research topic by means of empirical research. In line with the practioner research project carried out within the context of the course 'student research', students need to elaborate the research activities in their project. Three options are available: (1) a profound theoretical exploration of the knowledge base in the educational research literature about their chosen research topic, (2) a more expanded data collection and analysis or (3) the preparation of the set up of an invention study which will be empirically investigated during their practioner research project.

    During this course student teachers:  

    - gain insight into their subjective educational theory;
    - are able to critically reflect upon their own subjective educational theory;
    - acquire knowledge about the empirical research cycle;
    - acquire knowledge about different research methods;
    - learn how pracitioner research can be set up;
    - carry out an own pracitioner research project under supervision;
    - reflect about implications of result of their own practitioner research project.

    At the start of this course the student should have acquired the following competences:
    Specific prerequisites for this course:
    *General competences

                - Final competences of an academic bachelor’s degree; 
                - Adequate language skills of Dutch.
     
    * The student has completed the following course modules or to take them simultaneously:

                - Introduction to didactics;
                - Didactics of the subject with which the practice sessions are associated.


    2. Learning outcomes

    The final competences consist of the basic competences (knowledge, skills and attitude) required of a teacher at secondary school level by the Flemish Government (http://www.ond.vlaanderen.be/edulex/database/document/document.asp?docid=13952#245903). They are categorised as ten functional domains. Priority is given to the following domains in the practice sessions:

    • The teacher as a monitor of developmental and learning processes;
    • The teacher as an expert in his field; 
    • The teacher as an organiser;
    • The teacher as an innovator/researcher.
    Attitudes that receive special attention are decision-making, organizational power and cooperation.


    3. Course contents

    The practice sessions link up with the specific didactics of the subject(s) the student takes. They are supervised by the specific didactics professor and his/her assistants. Students trained in two subjects will split the amount of time spent on the two options. In this course description only the main principles are outlined. More information can be found in the Course Guide for the Practice Sessions of the specific didactics.

    Practice sessions are lessons in which students teach fellow students or pupils of secondary education. These lessons need to be prepared and will be discussed afterwards. Students attend their fellow students’ lessons and participate actively. Attendance and participation during all practice sessions are absolutely essential, for practising as well as for experiencing. The students can explore the interaction with an audience, the organisation of classes and observe the impact of all kinds of techniques on themselves. The framework is provided by the general and the specific didactics courses.

                   - Adequate language skills.





    2. Learning outcomes

    The final competences encompass the basic competences (knowledge, skills, attitude) of the secondary school teacher as stipulated by the Flemish Government and clustered in ten functional domains (in the December 30, 2006 version). The basic competences focused on during the immersion phase of the in-school training are the following functional domains:
     
    1. The teacher as a monitor of developmental and learning processes (basic competences 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13);

    7. The teacher as a member of a school team (basic competences 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4).
     
    Attitudes that are given priority are:
     
    A4 inquisitiveness;
    A5 organisational ability;
    A7 responsibility.




    3. Course contents

    In this course description only the main principles are outlined. For further details consult the Wegwijzer Inleefstage (immersion stage course guide) that will be available at the beginning of the academic year.
     
    At the immersion stage of their in-school training the students are introduced to a wide range of activities that are part of the teaching profession. Besides observation of classes (microlevel) attention is paid to activities at school level (mesolevel) and to the way the school as an organisation deals with government directives (macrolevel). The students don’t observe the lessons from the perspective of their own field but within the scope of teacher learner interaction, the pupils’ interests, activating settings, etc. Activities at school level encompass participation in meetings, supervision, contacts with external partners, etc. The students also immerse in the school context, e.g. policy implementation, tutoring, participation, etc. with reference to governmental decrees pertaining to these matters.


    The students accomplish the immersion module in a schools with a professional or technical orientation. The added value of the immersion lies in experiencing educational and learning environments that are unfamiliar to them and so broaden their views on education. Hence, students are not allowed to choose their own secondary school for the immersion.

    All the attitudes mentioned in the basic competences are aimed at (A1-A8).




    3. Course contents

    This course module is taken twice by each student. Therefore, it exists twice (... 1 and ... 2) in the administrative system. Both have the same objectives and content. In this course description the general principles are outlined. Further details can be found in the course guide Wegwijzer Groeistages. During this course module(s) students practice more in depth as a teacher in their own subject(s) in two different educational contexts.

    Each of both course modules consists of:

    • 4 observations;
    • 20 lessons.

    Coaching in school is done by a mentor. At the university the didactician provides assistance and monitoring. At first, the student is guided strongly but, depending on his progress, gradually he will act more independently.

The basic competences focused on during the initiation phase of the in-school training belong to the following socalled functional domains:

    • The teacher as a monitor of developmental and learning processes;
    • The teacher as an expert in his field;
    • The teacher as an organiser;
    • The teacher as an innovator/as a researcher;
    • The teacher as member of a school team.

    Attitudes that are given priority are critical disposition, inquisitiveness, organisational ability an cooperation.




    3. Course contents
