Abstract :
Becoming a health care professional requires that students
receive specific, technical and theoretical lessons to become therapists.
Learning the podiatrist trade is a process that connects individuals of
different statuses : teachers, patients and students. Some situations of
training for care act, established in pairs, create transpromotional
interrelation between students. What is happening in these moments of
internship ? Is there an interest in fostering a cooperative work ? What do the
chiropodist students think ?
Therefore, my job has been to observe and question the
concerned individuals. The field survey has collected the impressions of
students during their studies and their representations of facts. The
comparison of these data with the various concepts in the fields of sociology,
psychology, pedagogy and the analysis of the interviews given to students
invited me to perceive, in these seemingly mundane situations, the construction
of a phenomenon in relation with identity. Scientific research is certainly the
way to find it out. The analyses developed in this paper are applying
themselves to define it with more precision.
