Cet article s’appuie sur les données d’une étude qualitative effectuée de janvier à juin 2014 auprès d’étudiants collégiaux et universitaires franco-ontariens. Des entretiens semi-structurés ont été effectués auprès de 18 étudiants et étudiantes pour explorer les enjeux linguistiques qui se manifestent durant leurs parcours postsecondaires. Selon les modalités d’appartenance définies par Breton (1994), l’analyse démontre qu’une majorité d’étudiants rapportent avoir un sentiment d’appartenance à un héritage culturel franco-ontarien tout en mobilisant un répertoire culturel qui englobe la culture, l’histoire et le territoire. De plus, dans le cadre de cette étude, une nouvelle dimension de l’appartenance émerge : l’affirmation d’une francophonie contemporaine plurielle. Cette étude démontre le développement d’une appartenance entrecroisée qui comprend à la fois l’appartenance à l’héritage d’une communauté francophone historique et l'appartenance à une communauté franco-ontarienne contemporaine plurielle qui comprend des jeunes francophones d’origines ethniques et raciales diverses. This article explores data drawn from a qualitative study conducted between January and June 2014 with Franco-Ontarian college and university students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants to explore their postsecondary pathways and linguistic issues. Using Breton’s (1994) modalities of belonging, this analysis reveals that a majority of participants are attached to a Franco-Ontarian cultural heritage and that they mobilize a cultural repertoire which includes culture, history and territory. In addition, a new dimension of belonging emerges from the data with the affirmation of a plural contemporary francophone community. This study illustrates the development of an intertwined sense of belonging to an historical francophone community heritage and a contemporary diverse Franco-Ontarian community which includes young Francophones from various ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Objective: Empirical work explaining student mobility, particularly postsecondary pathways among 2-year college students, remains limited. This study examines the underlying process that drives 2-year college students into one or more pathways as they navigate higher education. Method: Drawing upon survey, transcript, and interview data from one transfer-focused and two comprehensive community colleges in a Midwestern state, this study uses a grounded theory approach to develop a conceptual model to understand college students’ decision-making process when choosing among competing postsecondary pathways. Results: The resulting College Pathway (Re)Selection Model Among Beginning 2-Year College Students contained two categories—lifetime decision-making and short-term decision-making—that defined the purposes of students’ decisions as they navigate postsecondary education. Within the categories, 2-year college students described the role of payoff, fit, transferability, place, flexibility, and mobility in their decision-making process. Contributions: This study offers a new model that explains what shapes 2-year college students’ decisions and challenges notions of postsecondary pathways, student progress, success, and completion in the context of 2-year college students’ fluid lives and goals.
