SLORE project : the undergraduate internship : a tool for students’ success

Project supervisor : Claire Bonnard (IREDU)

Teacher-researchers involved in the project : 

  • Claire Bonnard (IREDU)
  • Nathalie Droyer (FAP, Agrosup)
  • Jean-François Giret (IREDU)

Research engineer involved in the project : 

  • Arthur Sawadogo

This research (2019-2020) is funded by the PIA 2 RITM BFC project and is based on a collaboration between IREDU and the FAP laboratory of Agrosup (Eduter Recherche). It is also linked to the research programme of the Céreq RAC in Dijon.

It proposes to question the place of internships in the educational curricula of bachelor’s degrees, particularly in the 3rd year of a bachelor’s degree, whether general or professional. The growing importance of professionalization, linked to the challenges of orientation and professional integration of students, leads the teaching teams to integrate internships in their courses in different forms, optional or mandatory. They ask several questions about the difficulties of access to internships, but also about the quality of the training content of internships and their effects on the student’s subsequent academic career, particularly with regard to his or her success in the bachelor’s programme, his or her orientation in the master’s programme, his or her integration into the labour market or possibly his or her geographical mobility.

Therefore the project is structured around 3 complementary objectives: 

1. To identify inequalities in students’ access to internships.

  • To determine the strategies used by students to find a placement and the difficulties encountered.
  • To put into perspective whether inequalities of access exist according to students’ geographical, socio-economic and educational characteristics.

2. To assess the formative content of the internship in relation to the student’s training and academic background.

  • To understand how the realities of work complement the transmission of knowledge from the university.
  • To identify how teachers use the internship as a teaching aid.

3. To assess the effects of the internship on the student’s academic career and professional integration

  • To analyse the impact of the internship on the student’s academic career: professional project, academic success, post-Licence orientation.
  • To identify the role of the internship on the professional integration of the student, for the graduates of the Professional Licence.

This project is based on a mixed methodology, which integrates quantitative evaluation analyses of success mechanisms and qualitative work in professional didactics to understand the formative dimension of the internship and the valorisation of learning in a work situation by the teaching teams.

First scientific developments of the project :

  • Presentation of the research at the Scientific Day of the Pôle SHS of the COMUE UBFC (June 2019)
  • Presentation of a paper at the “Colloque Pédagogie Universitaire” of the Réseau Education Formation (REF-Toulouse, July 2019)
  • Presentation of the research during a conference organised by the thematic group Discriminations and Inequalities of the MSH of Dijon on the topic “Discrimination in access to internships”, multiplex room, 10 October 2019, https://youtu.be/N1AKsUEhCI0
