Aims

Learning outcomes

The student can:

1. Independently draw up a lesson preparation in accordance with the principles taught in ‘Teaching Methodology: Economics’.

2. Assess the starting situation of the pupils and identify and name the characteristics that influence the quality of learning.

3. Define concrete and operational objectives for a lesson (when making a lesson preparation), taking into account curricula, intended learning outcomes and the initial situation of the pupils.

4. Design and structure learning situations, adapted to the initial didactic situation, the level of processing and the diversity of the pupils. Attention is also paid to research competences and the evaluation of the lesson objectives.

5. Select learning resources according to the objectives of the field of economics and the specific needs of the pupils.

6. Prepare an evaluation linked to the lesson: formulate objective-valid questions and assignments and determine assessment criteria.

7. Apply, broaden and deepen the acquired domain-specific knowledge and skills.

8. Transfer the principles of accounting to pupils with the aid of a digital accounting package.

9. Establish a positive interaction with the class as a group.

10. Observe in a focused way and give critical feedback to others in a positive manner.  The student can become accustomed to a practical class situation in a simulated (safe) classroom environment.

11. Develop teaching materials using relevant ICT tools, whether or not to be used in a digital educational context.

12. Make use of Standard Dutch in spoken and written language.

 

Training objectives

Content

Through application-oriented seminars and peer teaching, the content of the ‘Teaching Methodology: Economics’ course, is concretised and practised. Together with ‘Teaching Methodology: Economics’, this course forms the basis of the teaching methodology internship.

Teaching methodology seminars

  • Design of an extensive lesson preparation
  • Concrete examples and discussions about class management and research competences.
  • Concrete examples of a didactic accounting package.

Peer teaching

  • Making a lesson preparation in the context of a specific learning situation with extra attention paid to internal class differentiation and research competences.
  • Teaching the lesson in a safe simulated classroom environment with peers.
  • Designing and executing a learning moment in the form of teamteaching.
  • Intervention moment in which the acquired theoretical insights are tested against the gained practical experience in the form of observations of peers and possibly subject teachers.

Course material

All information can be found on Toledo.

All blank documents required for the internship are also available on Toledo.

Format: more information

This course unit is developed using a blended pathway that combines contact and distance learning with attention to individual and group feedback.

There are three contact moments of 4 hours in semester one on the campuses of Leuven, Brussel, Antwerpen, Brugge, Gent, Kortrijk, Aalst, Diepenbeek, Geel. Regardless of the place of registration, students are welcome to attend classes at a campus of their choice. In semester two the lessons are only organised at Leuven Campus.

First contact moment:

  • Leuven Campus: The contact moment can be followed both on-campus and synchronously online. The weblecture of this contact moment is placed on Toledo and can be reviewed.
  • Other campuses:  The contact moment can only be attended on-campus.  

Second contact moment:

  • all campuses: The contact moment can only be attended on-campus. For the peerteaching assignments, participation/attendance is mandatory.

Third contact moment:

  • all campuses: The contact moment can only be attended on-campus. For the peerteaching assignments, participation/attendance is mandatory.

Active participation of the students is expected during the contact moments. The students come prepared to the class and can make use of a supporting digital learning environment divided into web modules.

During contact moments two and three, students participate in peer teaching assignments. Each student prepares a lesson, carries it out and participates in the critical reflection on the lessons of peers. Contact moment two focuses on the individual elaboration of a teaching moment while contact moment three concerns teamteaching (duo assignment).

Further information is shown on Toledo.
