Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Academic, social and cultural skills. These are reflected in the following competencies:
    • analyse the organisational and institutional environment of the education system and act within it, by interacting with colleagues, parents, management and other parties in order to: - be part of the school's management process and participate in the process of improvement of the French Community's education system; - make school a place where pupils learn, develop and train in a positive climate, and not a place of selection;
  • Learning organisation skills applicable within a collective dynamic. These are reflected in the following competencies:
    • identify individual training needs and participate in identifying the training needs of the teaching team;
  • Skills for organising and supporting learning in an evolving dynamic. These are reflected in the following competencies:
    • understand written and spoken French in order to teach and communicate adequately in the various contexts and disciplines related to the profession;
    • take account of and develop the language dimensions of learning and teaching, paying attention to both the language of schooling and the language of learning, and recognising the socially and culturally unequal nature of familiarisation with it;
    • create a supportive environment to facilitate communication with pupils, their families and friends, and with colleagues;
    • manage groups in educational and teaching situations in a way that is stimulating, structuring and reassuring;
  • Reflective practitioner skills. These are reflected in the following competencies:
    • critically read the results of scientific research in education and didactics and draw inspiration from them for their teaching activities, all the while drawing on various disciplines in human sciences to analyse and act in professional situations;
    • carry out, individually and with peers, a critical and rigorous observation and analysis of their own practices and the impact these have on pupils, in order to improve their teaching and develop the strategies and conditions for implementation to ensure effectiveness and equity;
    • gradually develop their professional identity, in particular by using personal professional development tools such as a portfolio.
