key stages and objectives (1)
3 key stages at primary school (3-11 years)
Key stage 1 « Early Learning » (3-6 years): Develop the behavioural, emotional, relational and
intellectual capacities of the pupils. Key stage 2 « Fundamental Learning » (6-9 years):
Acquisition of the codes, French language and mathematics; acquisition of the citizenship values and of the disciplinary fields relative to the discovery of the world.
Key stage 3 « Consolidation Learning » (9-11 years): Continuation of previous learning & introduction of the first
disciplinary concepts that will be taught in middle school.
key stages and objectives (2)
3 key stages at Middle school (11-15 years)
Key stage 1 « Adaptation cycle » (11-12 years). Insures the transition between elementary and middle school:
consolidation of acquisitions. Key stage 2 « Central cycle » (12-14 years):
Expansion of disciplinary knowledge and diversify courses to develop autonomy and allow awareness of pupils’ tastes and capacities.
Key stage 3 « Orientation cycle » (14-15 years). The pupils complete their knowledge to prepare either for
general and technology education of secondary school, or for secondary vocational school.
key stages and objectives (3)
2 key stages at General & technology High School (15-18 years)
Key stage 1 « Determination cycle » (15-16 years): 8 common disciplinary courses 2 specialisation courses 8 optional courses
Key stage 2 « Terminal cycle » (16-18 years): General courses correspond to 3 profiles: L (Literature), ES
(Economic and social) and S (Scientific). Technological courses offer 7 profiles: STL (lab), STI (industrial),
STG (economics), SMS (medical), Hotel, STAV(agriculture), STAE (environment).
key stages and objectives (4)
3 paths in Vocational school (15-18 years)
Path 1 – CAP concrete education in connection with on-the-job learning to
acquire craft knowledge and skills. It prepares for precise job tasks and work.
Path 2 – BEP expands qualifications and enables the pursuit of study for
technician diploma called “Professional Baccalaureate”. Path 3 – Technician “PB”
Enables mastery of professional techniques and acquisition of a on-the-job professional experience . It comprises both academic courses & 18 weeks on-the-job training.
Technology education is :
Compulsory for all from 3-15 years. Exclusive for pupils who chose the vocational
education path (15-18 years) Optional during the 1° year of high school (15
years) for pupils who will chose the general and technology path.
Exclusive for pupils who have chosen technology path in high school (16-18 years)
Curriculum
Applied at all levels of a compulsory National program
Designed and re-designed by National Council of the Programs
National assessments Prescriptive (knowledge, skills, time) Complemented by advice on curriculum
delivery in classroom.
Status & aims of ET (1)
Primary school
Status: integrated into science education Aims: scientific and technical culture, ability. Orientation: Concrete approach Population: Compulsory for all (girls and
boys) Interdisciplinary Common core knowledge
Status & aims of ET (2)
Middle school
Status: between science (scientific laws) and technics (technical processes)
Aims: enables reasoning about techniques Orientation: multiple approach of products (functional,
scientific, historic, economic) Population: compulsory for all (girls and boys) Inter and trans disciplinary links with physics-chemistry,
geometry, mathematics, biology. Common core knowledge: ITC, citizenship, autonomy, French,
foreign languages, history.
Status & aims of ET (3)
High school
Status: as a science, technology contributes to general scientific development.
Aims: prepares for engineering science.Orientation: multidisciplinary Population: optional for pupils (girls and boys)
who chose the option “ISI” or for pupils who chose the vocational high school diploma “SI”.
Progression in ET
Primary school Construction of knowledge on the world of made objects
(Process and Impact on the environment)
Middle school Analysis of industrial products, ITC. Analysis of industrial processes, design, software, 3D
modeling Design and realization of a pluri-technologic product,
realization of a digital media of communication on this product.
High school Introduction to engineering science in the fields of industrial
production, automation, electricity, mechanics, civil engineering, materials
Discovery of the industrial methods
Pedagogy & Method in ET
Primary school Inquiry approach (observation, analysis,
understanding)
Middle school Inquiry approach (observation, analysis,
understanding) Problem solving approach (design, organisation and
manufacturing) Industrial project approach (design)
High school Problem solving approach Industrial project approach (design & manufacturing) Lab work
