MASTERS IN TEACHING, EDUCATION AND TRAINING, TRAINING PRACTICES AND ENGINEERING

The entire course is run by the Faculty of Education on the Montpellier site, with a face-to-face or co-modal part, and a remote part in synchronous and/or asynchronous modalities. As the courses are designed for professionals returning to school, they are organized in Wednesday sessions, grouped together during the intermediate school vacations (5 days during the autumn break, winter break and/or spring break). As the specialized teacher sub-course of the EPI program includes preparation for the CAPPEI, its organization is adapted to the training schedule designed for this certification.

Recruitment takes place at L3 level, via the ecandidat platform and after validation by the pedagogical committee. Validation of professional experience may also be considered.

Each of the four courses is divided into 2 years (M1 and M2) and includes a core curriculum in M1 equivalent to 140 hours of core training distributed between S1 and S2.

• S1 comprises 77 hours of training divided into two UEs, all of which are part of the core curriculum;
• S2 comprises more or less 120 hours of training, 63 hours of which are divided into three core courses.

Specialization in a particular pathway begins in S2, notably with the research project, and is confirmed in M2.

With this in mind, the core curriculum provides a reference base for research work and an understanding of the issues and changes affecting teaching, education and/or training. It is made up of 5 units, as follows

• In S1, UE 1 "Challenges and changes in education" forms the basis of a theoretical foundation articulated around twelve training themes, which are conceived as a bank of reflective tools useful for both general training and specific to each course. In S2, this UE is extended by a UE designed to make theoretical and methodological use of scientific writings ("exploiting scientific writings").
• Two research units are designed to introduce students to the main principles of the research approach, and to initiate research that will lead to the writing of a dissertation. These two courses are organized within the core curriculum, to help students grasp the scientific invariants that will be taken up by each course in S3. They enable students to grasp the distinctions between the courses and to initiate their research project in line with the training they are aiming for.
• The EU foreign language course is also linked to the reading and writing of scientific texts.

In addition, the courses establish links between each other. Either by organizing common UEs - or by tackling identical concepts with an approach adapted to the expectations of the pathway.
