Abstract

« Expérience professionnelle » dotée d'une véritable valeur formatrice, initiation aux « réalités du monde du travail », moyen privilégié d'accéder à « l'autonomie » : en cohérence avec l'objectif de « professionnalisation » de l'enseignement supérieur, les discours sur les vertus de l'emploi étudiant se multiplient depuis quelques années, même si perdurent par ailleurs les discours dénonçant la précarité étudiante. Cet ouvrage propose une analyse empirique des activités rémunérées des étudiants, en particulier de leurs « petits boulots ». Il mobilise les méthodes ethnographiques, statistiques et historiques et repose sur plusieurs enquêtes menées dans la restauration rapide, les centres d'appels et l'animation socioculturelle. Sont explorées non seulement la place des étudiants au sein du marché du travail, mais aussi la place de ces activités dans leur parcours. Offrant un éclairage inédit sur les inégalités au sein de la jeunesse étudiante, notamment dans le rapport au temps et à l'avenir, cette approche est aussi une façon de mieux comprendre les transformations du salariat et des modalités d'accès à l'emploi.

Abstract

Constrained by shrinking budgets, can colleges do more to improve the quality of education? And can students get more out of college without paying higher tuition? Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs conclude that limited resources need not diminish the undergraduate experience. How College Works reveals the decisive role that personal relationships play in determining a student's success, and puts forward a set of small, inexpensive interventions that yield substantial improvements in educational outcomes. At a liberal arts college in New York, the authors followed nearly one hundred students over eight years. The curricular and technological innovations beloved by administrators mattered much less than did professors and peers, especially early on. At every turning point in undergraduate lives, it was the people, not the programs, that proved critical. Great teachers were more important than the topics studied, and just two or three good friendships made a significant difference academically as well as socially. For most students, college works best when it provides the daily motivation to learn, not just access to information. Improving higher education means focusing on the quality of relationships with mentors and classmates, for when students form the right bonds, they make the most of their education.

Abstract

This edition of an underground classic marks out new territory in college participatory education. Its purpose remains the same: to encourage students to educate themselves by calling their attention to the college experience as a whole: the personal, social, intellectual, and spiritual demands and opportunities presented by college life. In a personable and refreshingly straightforward style, the auhtors' critical discussion of academic life distinguishes between learning the institutional rules of higher education and internalizing those rules, demystifies professors and teaching assistants by discussing their institutional roles and incentives, and invites students to take responsibility for - and make the most of - their educational experiences.
