Résumé

Les étudiants de collège aînés dans les communautés rurales font face à la question “où allons-nous à partir d’ici ?” Dans de petites écoles dans les régions isolées d’étudiants d’aîné d’Australie et de Canada doivent souvent émigrer à de plus grands centres pour s’inscrire aux dernières années de collège pour entreprendre le post-enseignement secondaire ou chercher l’emploi. La question “où nous allons à partir d’ici” a été examiné par un des auteurs dans une école rurale dans Queensland, l’Australie avant que les deux autres auteurs ont considéré ses implications dans un collège lointain dans le Terreneuve et le Labrador. Dix ans après le fait de sortir 34 étudiants d’un collège canadien rural ont été contactés (d’une classe obtenante le maîtrise de 62) et étudiés par le questionnaire des influences importantes sur leur poste secondaire éducatif et choix de carrière. La signification du problème d’étudiants ruraux cherchant à comprendre le monde non-local avant le fait d’y émigrer avait beaucoup d’implications pour leurs chances de vie. Cette édition éducative rurale a des implications pour l’éducation de pré-service d’enseignants futurs.
