摘要

In 2007, the University of Windsor established formal learning outcomes for their cooperative education program and implemented new educational strategies to support the achievement of those outcomes. To gauge the effect of the newly implemented activities on the achievement of the learning outcomes, a survey was developed and administered to students and alumni of the unrevised program (control group) and, more recently in 2009, to students participating in the revised program (experimental group). The survey questions were designed to assess respondents' perceptions of the effect that co-op had on: their academic and career-related goals and motivation; identification of personal strengths, weaknesses and preferences; understanding of academic theory and technical knowledge; development of attributes; and the ability to effectively contribute in the workplace through identified soft and transferable industry-related skills. Students participating in co-op at the University of Windsor may complete regular or extended length work terms. Regular work terms are generally four-months in length, while extended work terms are at least eight months long, although many companies request co-op students for twelve to sixteen month periods. The survey demographics included a question about work term duration, so that the effects of work term length on learning outcomes achievement might also be examined. Although the survey revealed some positive trends related to learning outcomes achievement for control versus experimental groups, they were not at statistically significant levels. However, if the analysis was limited to students who had completed extended work terms, three areas showed changes at statistically significant levels. Decreases in positive response levels were seen for the experimental group with respect to students' abilities to identify personal weaknesses related to their academic options and personal preferences related to workplace options. An increase in positive response level was found with regard to their understanding of theories taught in the classroom.
