Learning unit contents
The second part of the course in social science didactics builds on the didactic foundations laid in the first part. Students will have to demonstrate their ability to mobilise the essential principles appropriately, both in the design, facilitation and collegial evaluation of an introduction to citizenship (Citizenship seminar - 3rd course), and in the design and evaluation of a lesson on an imposed theme (2nd course, then public lesson).
Each student must also demonstrate an ability to question his or her practices and to identify what, in the course of his or her training in special social science didactics, has contributed to the constitution of a professional identity.
The more precise content of the two sub-components is detailed in the corresponding teaching commitments.
Course and exercices
Writing QRAs
As an extension of the AESS2224-A course, and on the basis of the feedback they receive on the first three QRAs they have written, students are asked to write seven (7) other QRAs (making a total of 10 QRAs to be used during the Citizenship seminars).
Drafting a 'Citizenship' syllabus
Based on the didactic experiments in part 1 and the feedback they received, the students, divided into three work teams, write one of the chapters of the Citizenship syllabus intended for pupils at the end of secondary school.
They will be given an earlier version of the syllabus for illustrative purposes. This version is imperfect and incomplete and cannot be used as such.
The three chapters will be tested - as was the case during the didactic experiments in part 1. At the end of each experiment, the students will conduct a debriefing, identifying what can be improved, what should be kept and what should be withdrawn. The trainers will ask the students questions about the content covered and any inaccuracies or errors they have identified.
Writing evaluation questions on the content of the 'Citizenship' syllabus
Each student is invited to write three evaluation questions on the three chapters of the syllabus, for a total of nine questions. Some of these questions are intended for a summative MCQ-type assessment, others for a written exam with open-ended questions and the last ones for an oral exam.
Designing problem situations
One lesson will be dedicated to the presentation of the notion of 'problem situations' and their design.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this unit, each student will be able to reflect on the contributions of his/her initial training, the obstacles or difficulties encountered and the strategies implemented to overcome them, with a view to developing a professional identity.
In addition, each student will be able to design two training systems, making appropriate use of the didactic principles identified in the first part of the Special Didactics in the Social Sciences course and those specified at the beginning of the second part of the Special Didactics in the Social Sciences course. These two mechanisms consist, firstly, of a sequence of lessons tested during an individual placement and then re-examined in the light of the feedback that will have been communicated and shared and, secondly, of a college seminar on access to citizenship and intended for final year pupils from partner schools.
The learning outcomes expected for each of the sub-components of this teaching unit are detailed in the corresponding teaching commitments.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The activities will consist of both group sessions dedicated to designing the material for the Citizenship seminar, and personal work on designing a sequence of lessons which will be tested on the course and reworked for presentation to the jury for the public lessons. Writing the final reflective practice report ('Training path and professional identity') is an individual task, to be carried out outside the course sessions.
