Learning unit contents
Dropout may designate the fact of not being interested any more in the school work, the fact of giving up school, or to leave the education system with a low level of qualification. Dropout is the outcome of a long cumulative process of disengagement which results from an interaction between school and socio-family factors. This process can take root in the very first contacts with the school.
During the lessons, factors occurring in the process of early school leaving at various stages of the schooling will be identified and put in connection with educational practices which can be exploited with the aim of reducing the early school leaving.
This year's practical work will focus on a predictor of dropping out, namely absenteeism. The aim will be to analyse the relationship between the families of young people who are absent from school for a long period of time and the school institution, to examine the pathways that can lead to this absenteeism, the reasons that families give to justify it and the possible obstacles and levers that they are confronted with in their daily lives.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will work the two following skill:
Describe, analyze, decode educational / training situations in context by referring to the conceptual frameworks from the field of science education.
- Describe the elements of these situations, describe their context and explain their interactions at various levels of the system
- Distinguish levels of analysis (individual, groupal, institutional ...).
- Distinguish descriptive, interpretive and prescriptive discourses.
- Question these situations with reference to frameworks.
- Incorporate in its analyzes various contexts with formative and educational issues as well as the age range affected by these issues.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
It is highly recommended to follow this course in the same year than the course YTRA9003-A Mémoire, partim 1.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The theoretical course will be based on oral presentations supported by power points. Documentary resources will be put at the disposal of the students.
The theoretical courses will also provide an opportunity for dialogue between the academic world and professionals in the field who fight against absenteeism and dropping out on a daily basis (ASBL, AMO, anti-poverty network, etc.).
The practical work will be an opportunity to be initiated to conduct qualitative interviews and their analysis. They should allow students to decentralize themselves by analyzing potentially critical discourses about the school, while being introduced to the preparation, conduct and analysis of this type of data.
They will allow students to become familiar with the writing of an academic scientific paper written along the lines of a scientific article. Formative feedback is provided.
