Description

Across many Australian universities there has been adopted a strategic direction around the delivery of work integrated learning (WIL) opportunities to all students across the institution.Some universities have set targets of 100% of students to have engaged in a WIL experience prior to graduation, which includes both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Complementing these strategic directions has also been the introduction of WIL opportunities for higher degree research students. Conceptualisations of WIL need to account for contexts which are not simple transitions from undergraduate learner to the emerging professional and broaden understandings of WIL beyond employability to encompass professional and personal transformation and identity formation. This paper presents a concept of WIL in consideration of postgraduate education drawing upon two studies that have explored WIL in post-graduate learning environments.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
