Content

This course is focused on heterogeneity, diversity and inclusion of students in the school context.
The course be structured in three blocks building on each other:
- Inclusion at a societal level: inclusive citizenship education.
- Inclusion as a community practice: bridges with non-formal education.
- Inclusion as a classroom practice: Project-based Learning.

Aims

Students are expected to become familiar with Inclusive Citizenship Education, Project-based Learning and non-formal education related concepts.
They are furthermore expected to develop/strengthen teaching abilities, including:
1.1 Communication skills: education related vocabulary in English, ability to convey evidence-based ideas in discussions, capacity to convey one’s point of view in a discussion.
1.2 Methodological skills: providing multiple perspectives and reflecting a plurality of interests in teaching; how to prepare a study visit; how to use (short) films as pedagogical tools.

Methodology

This course is designed on active education and student-centred methodologies. Therefore, students’ active participation is required.
The course will involve a study visit, an activity around (short) films, presentations and group discussions.

Assessment and permitted materials

Each student is expected to contribute to classroom discussions and activities.
Each student is furthermore expected to give a presentation (individual or in group) about an elective topic within the three blocks of the course.
Each student will furthermore write an essay as part of the final grade. The topic will be elective amongst a suggested list of topics.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Active participation and presence (2 absences allowed).

The final grade is based on active participation (10%), a classroom presentation (30%) and a written essay (60%).

The seminar will be taught in English, therefore a minimum level of A2 is required.
N.B. Learning a vocabulary proper to education and education theories and approaches in English is part of the learning objectives of the course. Therefore, previous knowledge of technical English related to education is not a requirement.
