Relation to knowledge building and training courses in the vocational training level V; Rapport au savoir et construction des parcours de formation au sein de la formation professionnelle initiale de niveau V

In France, V-level vocational secondary school students and apprentices who quit their training programmes and fail to achieve their diplomas make up 60% of all dropouts from the educational system. This longitudinal research study of 611 participants showed that the origins of these two phenomena reveal strikingly different dynamics within and between these two training systems. While the future of the secondary school students appeared correlated with the relationship to knowledge which they developed along their previous academic path, the apprentices' breach of contract and failure to achieve their diploma could not be so easily explained by any specific relationship to knowledge or sense of academic experience.
