L’expérience de la probation académique ou « C’tu juste moi qui est pas capable au niveau universitaire? » : Une étude de cas

Abstract

This in-depth qualitative study explored the experience of academic probation. It recounts the story of Manelle, an undergraduate student on academic probation who participated in an academic support program to attain good academic standing. Specifically, Manelle’s story is contrasted to current research and examined in light of Dewey’s theory of experience. This paper offers an important contribution to the literature on higher education by revealing a rich, complex and unique experience and thus breaking away from the stereotypical image of probationary students often depicted in literature.
