Department of Educational Sciences

Teaching in the Sciences of Education is settled from different academic fields (sociology,
ethnology, philosophy, history, psychology ...) which focus on the educational field in its different
categories (school, associative life, family, social work, etc.).
This training aims to attain theoretical, epistemological and methodological skills in these diverse
disciplines, as well as an initiation to university research. The offered courses materials should allow
students to obtain analytical and distancing skills related with the educational concerns in the
different contexts mentioned above.
This division also provides professional awareness around the various sectors of educational activity.
Three sectors are characterized by the emergence of new careers in which education, training and
health practices play a great role:

Students, who wish to have a deeper knowledge in field of education and human and social sciences
are concerned. A significant experience in the field of education is recommended but not mandatory.

SUGGESTED ORIENTATION

The Educational Teaching Degree is not a professional Bachelor's Degree. It is not in particular a
training degree to the Teacher job. It is a general Bachelor's degree, which provides general teaching
in HSS field, focusing on education and training issues. It proposes a discovery of various aspects of
professional activities. The access to these fields supposes following studies (in Master) and/or
Degree success.
Beyond Bachelor's degree a continuation of studies is proposed by COMUE Lyon-Saint-Etienne with
a MASTER in Sciences of Education with two possible open orientations in Saint-Etienne:
Expertise and Research in Education / Conception of methods and projects, childhood-youth sector.
The courses are open to all Human Sciences Masters in general, and to 1st level MEEF MASTER
students, who wish to become teachers.
