International trajectories of students of Agronomic and Forestry Engineering at the National University of La Plata. Meanings of the experiences

Abstract

This article delves into the international training experiences of Agronomic and Forestry Engineering students from the National University of La Plata (UNLP) who participated in academic mobility within the framework of the Regional Academic Mobility Program for Careers Accredited by the ARCUSUR System and the Program Argentina-France Agriculture. The work is based on the following questions: What economic, personal, institutional and academic factors influence international training experiences? For what reasons do students get involved in academic mobility and what meanings do they attribute to carrying out an international training experience? What is your assessment of what the academic exchange contributed to your training? Mobility experiences are analyzed to understand the structural and subjective factors that intervene in their production in a society characterized by multiple inequalities. In this framework, it is considered relevant to know how they value the training obtained and the meanings that they give to the internationalization of university studies. The theme, thus raised, supposes a double dimension of exploration: the student condition and the experiential dimension, in its articulations.
