Combining critical reflexivity and conceptualization in action: A professionalization device in an “alternance” management master's programme
Keywords:
Management, Alternance, Critique, Conceptualisation, Critical reflexivity, ProfessionalizationAbstract
We present the results of a research project which, by linking management and educational sciences, has enabled us to develop a professionalization device for apprentices enrolled in a master's degree in management. After briefly explaining the context of management education, we describe our framework which, in line with Geay's “alternance” model, combines critical reflexivity and conceptualization in action. We present our methodology and our device, illustrated by an example. Our results seem to confirm that the device allowed students to develop critical reflexivity competencies through the confrontation of experiences and institutionalized knowledge when interacting with peers and changing roles.
