Year: 2009

Abstract: Work-integrated learning or cooperative education is an educational strategy in which \nstudents undergo conventional academic learning at a higher educational institution and \ncombine this learning with some time spent in a workplace relevant to their program of \nstudy and career aims (Groenewald, 2004). A key aspect of work-integrated learning is the \nnotion that it entails the integration of knowledge and skills gained in the higher education \ninstitution and in the workplace. This has two features - the student takes what he or she \nhas learned on-campus into the workplace when going on a work placement, and likewise \nwhat they learn in the workplace becomes related to, or incorporated into, the next phase of \nacademic learning when the student returns to study after completing a work-placement.
