University of Limerick: Co-existence between the Co-op learning placements, the Technical teacher placements and the On-campus PBL courses Aalborg University: Contrast between the On- campus PBL courses and the Praktik placements (for Bachelor students who are opting out of the Master phase)

Integration into higher education curricula 1(2) Different integration models: SU: CAPs as umbrella projects for the 2nd year of the MBA studies (seminars, workshops and ad hoc meetings support the company projects) UB: Praktika are incorporated into study modules (the Praktikum phases are linked to key content areas: vocational learning venues, subject didactics, use of research & development instruments)

www.itb.uni-bremen.de 2. Integration into higher education curricula 2(2) Different integration models: UL: Placements as separate but obligatory components (Co-op placements) AAU: Praktik placements as alternative options for On-campus PBL courses HIAK: Praxis placements as separate obligatory components (with a specific comptence- promoting function – the ”T-curriculum”)

www.itb.uni-bremen.de 3. Organisation of students’ learning activities (1) Sabanci University: Student teams working with company-specific R&D -oriented projects University of Bremen: Individual study projects negotiated with the host company University of Limerick: Different arrangements (Co-op placements vs. Technial teacher placements) Aalborg University : Individual study projects negotiated with the host company (the optional Praktik) Akershus University College: Individual working and learning placements negotiated with the host company

www.itb.uni-bremen.de 6. Reflective commentary 1(2) What has been achieved so far: Case descriptions (micro cases): cases and few student interviews, no interviews of company representatives Programme descriptions (system cases) – mostly missing; Bremen and partly Sabanci available Where does this information bring us: Preliminary overview on the role of practice-based learning in the higher education structures and curricula Some insights into the role of university-enterprise cooperation (to be completed with further information)
13
www.itb.uni-bremen.de 6. Reflective commentary 2(2) What is to be achieved in the next phase: Completion of the interviews with enterprises Completion of the programme descriptions (system cases) with closer attention to commonalities and European guidelines Where can this enrichment bring us: Identification of common developmental prospects Identification of domain-specific perspectives Identification of ’local’ developmental options
