Abstract
This paper was prompted by the phenomenon of student disengagement. We decided to move beyond the frustration faced with this unprecedented situation by trying to understand the social representations of students. As much as the field of pedagogy is familiar to us, we feel a distance separating us from the students. The collective beliefs of students seem to hold the answers to the problem of disengagement, considered as a distancing of students from the university. Our goal is to understand the social representations of the student on three fundamental aspects with the perspective of reconsidering the pedagogical relationship. Three hypotheses were put forth, each corresponding to a section of an online questionnaire. The collected data were subject to qualitative analysis, and the results provide an update on what we believe a student should be. Ultimately, it will be much more about proposing a strategy for reconstructing the pedagogical rapport.
