Portfolio:
- There are two distinct parts to the first seminar: one is an introduction to the concept of the portfolio (What is it? What are its purposes? Where and how can it be used? What might it look like?) and the second looks at the why of the portfolio (The portfolio as a professional development tool).
- The second seminar is structured in two distinct parts. The first focuses on identifying the characteristics perceived as important for becoming a teacher/musician, and the second looks at training as a ritual of passage likely to foster the development of professional skills.
- Emergence of students’ representations of the teaching/music profession.
- Relating the profile of the ‘ideal’ teacher/musician to the professional skills selected for the course. Observation work to be carried out based on the elements put forward in the seminar.
Internship:
- Students observe in different contexts and institutions, assist musicians, teachers and workshop leaders in the organisation and implementation of musical activities and performances. They develop their own interactive musical activities for amateur musicians of different ages and put them into practice.
- In the first semester, the student plans at least 4 different activities in 4 different contexts, or for 4 different age groups. As a rule, an intervention consists of an observation and an implementation of an activity.
- The student deals with the context or institution and the previous musical knowledge or prerequisites of the participants. He/she draws up a precise plan of the activity. Afterwards, experiences and feedback are recorded in a written report.
- The precise planning of each intervention is worked out together with the tutor and, if necessary, with the music teacher in individual tutorials. In so-called PREPA or INTRA seminars, the experiences are processed and reflected on together.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Identify the main contemporary theoretical and research currents dealing with learning processes in an educational context.
- To be able to grasp the differences and links between them, from the point of view of their epistemological, theoretical and methodological assumptions.
- Analyse empirical situations – rigorously and critically – in the light of the theoretical tools covered in the course.
- Identify the main contemporary theoretical and research currents dealing with learning processes in an educational context.
-
Description
Objective(s):
The aim of the course is to enable students to acquire a basic knowledge of the psychology of learning through the study of the various theories that have marked the development of this field.Contents:
No two students are the same and the way each person learns will vary. Psychologists have spent countless hours conducting tests to better understand how students learn. Learning theories are an effective tool for explaining what happens during the learning process. They are useful for two main reasons: they provide a conceptual framework for interpreting what we observe, and they offer guidelines for finding solutions to the problems we encounter.
This course therefore covers learning theories, in particular (socio)constructivism and historical-cultural approaches, and the main theories of motivation (expectancy-value, goals, self-determination, sense of self-efficacy). The way in which these aspects interact is explained and explored using case studies of learners in learning situations. -

Description
The music pedagogy course in the third year of the Bachelor of Music Education (BME) program focuses on the in-depth exploration of contemporary pedagogical concepts and methods, the development of lesson plans and teaching materials, and reflection on personal pedagogical experiences. This approach provides music education students with a comprehensive, practice-based education. Teachers recognised for their expertise in their field offer up-to-date and relevant content, attractive and varied teaching methods, ensuring high-quality training. A wide range of musical styles and periods, emphasising high-quality musical works, allows students to discover the richness and diversity of music. Combining theoretical concepts with practical experience, emphasising the application of knowledge, enables students to develop robust professional skills and prepare for a successful career in music education.Ìę
The course is also designed to assist in preparing the bachelor’s thesis, where the specific aim is to encourage the integration of theoretical debates in the field of music pedagogy with practical applications.
