Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Concept understanding, the development of analytical skills and a research mind set are explored through the use of academic tools common in a tertiary science education and relevant work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. The use and development of the tools; laboratory book, technical report, and literature review are examined by way of semi-structured interviews with graduate students, and comparing undergraduate students who had completed science work placements and those who had not. Students who had experienced work placements developed a professional and sophisticated understanding of the use of the tools, science concepts and the research process prior to graduating,
