Learning unit contents

Science didactics is concerned with the teaching and learning of scientific disciplines.

The course will therefore cover both scientific subject (biology) content and didactic aspects related to the teaching and learning of this content.

For ease of reference, these different contents are listed separately below. However, the course will endeavour to work on them simultaneously in order to develop both the disciplinary content and the didactics for the students.

The lists below are potentially non-exhaustive.

Subject content (sciences) :

  • Nutrition of heterotrophs and autotrophs
  • Diets
Didactic content :

  • Problematisation
  • Scientific experiments

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

By the end of this course, students will be able to

  • write a subject sheet on scientific content
  • produce a sequence preparation sheet using scientific and didactic content
  • analyse teaching and learning sequences in the light of theoretical frameworks derived from didactic research and covered during the course

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Students are expected to master the use of "référentiel de Sciences du tronc commun"

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is built around alternating practical activities carried out by the students (for example:document analysis, analysis of teaching and learning sequences, production of activities, etc.) and lectures by the teacher.

The practical activities proposed during the course will sometimes be individual, sometimes to be carried out in groups.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course

Course materials and recommended or required readings

Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus


Further information:

A syllabus is available to students.

In order not to short-circuit certain activities during the course, certain parts of the syllabus will be made available after the course.

Complementary resources (for example: articles from the scientific and didactic literature), which are not compulsory, are also made available.

Written work / report


Further information:

Assessment will be based on a written assignment.

The assignment will consist of two parts:

  • an individual part
  • a group part
For the group part, each student's contribution will be assessed by the other members of the group according to the procedures presented during the first course.

Work placement(s)

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

The course is organized as a module of two consecutive days.

More specifically, the course is built on an alternation of practical activities requiring student participation and theoretical input provided by the teacher.

Because of this structure, attendance is strongly recommended. In fact, taking part in the various activities proposed in the course will enable students to take ownership of its content.
