Le stage d’adaptation : un lieu d’apprentissage ? Analyse du parcours d’un infirmier diplômé en demande de reconnaissance
Abstract
Current research shows that although internships are levers of professional socialisation in work situations, learning does not take place in a linear form. In this article, we study the experience of an adaptation internship from the perspective of a nurse from a non-EU/EFTA country, who is a candidate for accreditation in Switzerland. We examine the learning achieved and the difficulties encountered during this internship in the training trajectory. Adopting a socio-anthropological and socio-cultural psychological approach, the analysis is based on interviews conducted with this candidate who combines a double position of professional and learner. Results show that the adaptation course is a place shaped by contradictory logics, making the construction of a socialization process difficult. These results also highlight the tensions at work between dynamics of learning, integration and othering.
