Contextualization practices in advanced technician certificates in Guadeloupe: Relationship between context and national programs
The study focuses on the representations and declared practices of management sciences professors of the Advanced Technician Certificate. This French higher education diploma aims at rapid professional integration, particularly in the training environment. A series of semi-structured interviews show teachers’ pragmatic consideration of the training context. They are aware of the role pedagogical contextualization plays on the students’ motivation but constrained in their practices by the national evaluation of the diploma. Thus, this raises the question about the coherence between the delivered training and the objective of local professional integration.
