Theoretical Framework for Resource Integration 2

The objective of this course unit is to provide theoretical tools for the analysis and development of resources intended for teaching and/or the dissemination of scientific knowledge. These tools integrate didactic, ergonomic, instrumental, and communicative approaches as they relate to scientific content in mathematics, physics, chemistry, life sciences, and Earth sciences.

Based on a learning objective, students work on a project during tutorial sessions, which they present at the end of the semester both orally and in writing.

• Be able to draw on what was learned in Semester 1

• Be able to draw upon the knowledge gained in the other course units regarding teaching methods and educational outreach

• Be able to work as part of a project.

The EU is weighted at 100% on the final exam. TheStudents develop a resource for the instructor or facilitator (a meta-resource) that includes a proposed lesson plan incorporating the resources selected in Semester 1, an instructional activity with materials for learners, and a preliminary analysis of learner activity. The exam consists of a group portfolio and a 15-minute oral presentation, followed by 15 minutes of questions.
