Master Bio-géosciences, parcours : préparation à l'agrégation SV–STU

The SV-STU Agrégation programme provides students with both the knowledge required by the national syllabus for the SV-STU Agrégation competitive examination – covering all disciplines within the life sciences (Sectors A and B) and the earth and space sciences (Sector C) – as well as the methodological skills required for the various formats of the examination: written synthesis papers, practical assignments and specialist oral examinations.

Students holding a licence SVT or any other bi-disciplinary course (bioscience & géoscience) and wishing to acquire the competences allowing them to aim for the agrégation de SV-STU are concerned by the M1. Students with an M1 MEEF SVT, a specialised master's degree or a doctorate are likely to be recruited in M2.

The biogenetic sciences mention only includes a course of study dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge and skills for the national competitive examination in agrarian science;It is composed of a M1 whose vocation is to stabilise the knowledge allowing one to apply for the CAPES and continues in an M2 dedicated to the preparation of agrarian studies.

The Biogéosciences mention leads to mastering a vast field of knowledge in biosciences and géosciences, which covers the programs of high schools, colleges and classes précoles to the point of being able to give a synthetic image, scientifically accurate;The book is designed to provide a synthetic, scientifically accurate and didactic picture of the subject for the intended audience.

The disciplinary field covers the three main sectors of biogenetics: Cellular and molecular biology and its integration at the organism level; Organismal biology and physiology and population biology in relation to the living environment; Earth and universe sciences, interaction between the biosphere and the planet Earth. Each sector is itself divided into different themes listed in the national SV-STU agrarian curriculum.

• Mobilise reliable theoretical, empirical, bibliographic or experimental resources to formulate a problematic question, verifiable consequences, a potential protocol to answer it as well as analyse the results obtained in a given theoretical context.
• Represent knowledge and reasoning in a clear and rigorous manner in different formats of written (long syntheses, documentary analyses) or oral (interview responses; constructed responses) answers.
• Formulate a problem in an autonomous or collective way, then plan, organise and supervise the realisation of an autonomous or collective project in the framework of a group of teachers or a class group.
• Designing learning sequences for given content and levels of learning on the SVT domains.
• The learning sequences are designed to be used in the classroom.
• Connect scientific knowledge to educational issues (health education, sexuality, sustainable development and citizenship).
• Maîtrise the body of knowledge and the modes of restitution explicit in the national program of the competition of the SV-STU agrégation.

The M1 internship allows the student to become familiar with the practice of teaching SVT in high schools and colleges by accompanying a teacher and tutor in the schools of the académie

Tutorials and practical sessions alternate with flipped learning sessions (preparatory work using textbooks or handouts). Mock exams (written summaries, oral presentations) under exam conditions are held throughout the year. Each student's progress is monitored individually.

All lectures take place at the Saint-Charles campus of the Faculty of Science

The mention is built to meet the national specifications of the training of secondary school teachers and more particularly of agrarian teachers, the natural focus of this biology mention is therefore the secondary teaching of life sciences in secondary schools and colleges. The M2 is more specifically aimed at the competitive examination for agrarian studies, which also gives the possibility of entering higher education via the status of PRAG.

Secondarily, the mention provides skills that can be fully exploited in the fields of scientific dissemination (nature animators, scientific journalism).

The bioscience mention as an honours course of the historical agrarian pre-service training of Aix-Marseille University benefits from these years of experience and collaboration with secondary school teachers or others;The project is based on the experience and collaboration with secondary school teachers from the academy and others, as well as on the investment of former students, young agrarian laureates. Based on a pedagogical team experienced in the preparation of competitive exams and having participated in the national juries of the CAPES as well as of the agrarian exams, the preparation also includes the interventions of university colleagues specialized in their field of competence.

The course is based on the experience of the students and the teachers.

Partnerships between M1 biology and M2 MEEF option SVT as well as M1 MEEF option SVT and M2 biology are possible and the individual follow-up of the students ensured by the pedagogical collective will allow to best respond to these orientations or reorientations.

The graduates of the M2 biogas science degree normally hold either the agrégation or the CAPES of SVT and thus enter directly into active life as a secondary or higher education teacher.

The admission to the M1 biogéoscience is done after analysis of the file of licence of students coming from a bi-disciplinary formation (bioscience and géoscience) and wishing to be directed towards the agrégation of sv-stu. The admission in M2 is by right for the students of M1 having validated their credits and on file for the students of other formations (M1 MEEF ; Master research, doctorate)
