| dc.description.abstract | Ombudsperson offices have identified the practicum process as a source of misunderstanding and grievance among professional programs in higher education. This project takes a participatory needs assessment and smart practices approach to gain a better understanding of what administrative practicum coordinators in the schools of Social Work, Nursing, Education and Child and Youth Care perceive to be factors that inhibit or enhance a practicum student’s expectation of the practicum experience and what effective practices and processes they have implemented. This research was framed through the ombudsperson fairness triangle – substantive, procedural, and reflective fairness. The purpose of this project was to analyze and recommend options to assist undergraduate professional programs. The recommendations hope to act as a guide for practicum program coordinators, smart practice considerations for post-secondary ombuds offices, and reflection for senior administration when reviewing or designing programs with experiential learning components. | en_US |
