Title
Portrait of the Characteristics of English-Speaking Bachelor of Vocational Education Students at Université de Sherbrooke : Survey Report
Abstract
In 2018, the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec (MEES) granted Université de Sherbrooke a mandate within the context of the Canada-Quebec Agreement: Development, Translation and Adaptation of the Université de Sherbrooke Bachelor of Vocational Education (BVE) program. The primary objective of the mandate was to tailor the education offered to the English-speaking community. It is within this framework that the Université de Sherbrooke developed this research project on the characteristics of English-speaking Bachelor of Vocational Education students. The key objective of this report was to document the characteristics of students in the English-speaking component of the BVE and to better understand their training experience. The authors note that the results presented aim to highlight who the students are and what challenges they encounter during their university studies. The authors found that the English-speaking BVE students are 45.9 years of age on average, whereas the Francophone students surveyed in 2009-2010 were 39.9 years of age. Also, they found that 27.2% of students are allophones, 75.0% are married or in a common law union, 63.0% have dependent children, and 42.3% have a university degree. On average, the English-speaking students surveyed have 6.9 years of teaching experience.
