Didactics of the Humanities

The training aims to question the notion of didactics as a research and training discipline in its general dimensions, as well as in the specific context of the teaching of the chosen option. To this end, it questions teaching practices, the devices developed, the students' activity and its consideration by the teacher in the disciplinary field of the chosen option. The training thus allows for the reinforcement of skills in
the teaching activity itself, and for advancement to positions of expertise or training.
The course also opens up the possibility of continuing one's studies in the third cycle (doctoral research) under certain conditions.
Public: this master's program is mainly intended for teachers (1st and 2nd grades),
trainers, educational advisors, etc.) who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in one of the fields related to the didactics of the humanities:
1. didactics of the plastic and visual arts,
2. didactics of French and literature,
3. didactics of history and geography.

The training content is organized around three axes:
1. Theoretical insights:
a) on the questions that cross the school and teaching in the framework of the common core in M1,
b) on general didactic concepts but also specific to each disciplinary option.
2. Training in the reflective analysis of teaching practices, devices and situations favoring the appropriation of tools (conceptual and methodological) allowing one to engage in a reflection on one's own teaching or training practice.
3. A research approach in line with the conceptual and methodological frameworks
developed by the LIRDEF (Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Didactique Éducation et Formation) and in particular the Savoirs, Pratiques, Didactique (SPD) axis for this course:
a) in M1 as part of the core curriculum through an introduction to research, the exploitation
of scientific articles and the preparation of a research project,
b) in M2 as part of the specific framework of the DIDHUM pathway through the development of a dissertation, which involves a problematization of an aspect of the profession, the construction of a theoretical framework as well as the construction and analysis of field data.
