Pedagogy and Didactics of Biotechnology

This is an introductory course to teaching biotechnology, preparing students for their observation internship in a technical high school in semester 6. This course covers concepts that will be developed further for students in the MEEF (Teaching, Education, and Training Professions) Biotechnology Master's program preparing for the CAPET Biotechnology with a specialization in Biochemistry and Biological Engineering. This course, combined with the high school internship in semester 6, also helps students choose their career path.

During lectures/tutorials, several questions concerning the teaching and learning of science and biotechnology are addressed:

- What are the principles, tools, and teaching methods used in the technology track?

- How to design teaching in STL-Biotechnology and STS?

- How are the programs and standards structured?

- What are the terms and conditions for certification assessment in the final cycle and in STS?

- How does a general and technological high school work?

- Implement the necessary teaching methods for young people in technology courses.

- Design, implement, and evaluate teaching situations.

- Propose approaches, methods, and tools for teaching, evaluating, and managing relationships in the classroom.

- Understand how the high school works and the requirements of the technology program.

- Integrate the elements of digital culture necessary for the teaching profession.

Scientific and technological level: two years of higher education in biochemistry, microbiology, cellular and molecular biology
