Teaching and Learning at Flinders : Model of Best Practice for Work Based Learning
This is model of best practice for structuring work-based learning has been developed to guide the teaching and learning of students in the practice. This model of best practice can be adapted to all practical settings.
It consists of a preparation stage involving thorough preparation of students to learn from experience in the workplace and preparation of the workplace organisation (supervisors) to have students.
This is followed by the placement stage where students are in the workplace and finally a post-placement stage where debriefing of students and review and evaluation with the organization takes place. Throughout all three stages, management issues are of great importance, as it involves organisational and legal agreements, staff development, overall management of all stakeholders and such things as intellectual property agreements.
