An Interdisciplinary, Short-Term Mobility, Work-Integrated Learning Experiment: Education for Change
Issues in Educational Research, v31 n3 p800-815 2021
This article explores how a university-wide, short-term mobility, work-integrated learning (WIL) program at an Australian university developed students' interdisciplinary, adaptability and interdependence skills. We chose a case study methodology with a mixed methods approach to answer a key research question to better design online, short-term mobility programs. Data was collected from students who participated in a short-term mobility program through pre- and post-experience online surveys, and recorded focus group interviews. We utilise the findings from this study to provide specific recommendations to support online, short-term mobility practice, curriculum design and delivery. This study contributes to mobility, internationalisation of the curriculum and interdisciplinary education research fields for higher education.
