Preparation for PFA physics assemblies

• Educational approach

Students practice by conducting experiments under exam conditions in order to reinforce their knowledge and experimental skills and develop effective communication.

• Main training content

The topics covered are taken directly from the list of physics experiments included in the current CAPES physics and chemistry entrance exam program (list published each year in the Official Bulletin of National Education).

• Digital space

Acquisition (with computer interface) of physical data from an experiment (Orphy_Lab and Orphi_GTI cards, Caliens camera).

- Analysis of a physics problem (mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, waves, electromagnetism, wave optics) using data processing software (Regressi).

- Basic coding and algorithmic practice using the Python language (option to use offline editors such as EduPython or online editors such as Jupyter). Display and use of experimental data.

Application to solving simple differential equations in physics.

• Link to other EUs

This module, which begins in semester 3, revisits the content covered in the first year in the "Teaching Physics" course units.

Students also use teaching situations encountered during their internships, as well as content covered in the course units "Didactic and Pedagogical Support for Internships" (S1, S2, S3, and S4) and "Didactics, Epistemology, and History of Science" (S2).

• Disciplinary aspects:

Design and implement experimental teaching sequences in physics that can be directly transferred to middle school or high school classrooms.

Create and present educational sequences based on quantitative and qualitative experiments and the use of discipline-specific software to illustrate a given physics topic. Training for the physics experimental test in the CAPES physics and chemistry competitive examinations.

• Professional practice:

Be familiar with the programs in place at training establishments. Be able to adapt teaching to the level being taught.

Continuous assessment with at least two grades.

No compensation possible for a score lower than 7/20.

• Mastering the French language for communication purposes
• Integrate the elements of digital culture necessary for the performance of one's job
• Mastering subject knowledge and teaching methods
• Mastering the French language in the context of teaching
• Develop, implement, and facilitate teaching and learning situations that take into account student diversity.
• Organize and ensure a group dynamic that promotes student learning and socialization.
• Assessing student progress and achievement
