In the Field: A Field Experience Manual for Internship and Service Learning Students provides readers with practical advice to help them prepare and conduct onsite field training in a variety of applied professions. It offers students weekly learning goals, case studies, informational asides, exercises, and discussion questions to engage them throughout their internship or service learning placement.The manual is appropriate for undergraduate or graduate programs and assumes that internship and service learning placements often occur outside of clinical mental health settings. The text is designed to function as a workbook that is easily adaptable to a student's unique training needs, allowing them to select the chapters that best align with their individual experiences and learning goals. It guides readers through the preplanning, planning, and onsite stages involved in a placement, encouraging them to critically consider the career development and academic learning involved throughout the process.Serving as an interactive guide that assists students in tracking the developmental nature of their own learning, In the Field helps readers make the most out of real-world experiences and onsite learning opportunities.Dr. Lisa A.

Alle har en historie. Socialt udsatte unge har en særlig historie at fortælle om uddannelse, praktikophold og arbejde. Det er historier, som giver et nuanceret og komplekst billede i forhold til de politiske og samfundsmæssige forventninger om, at unge skal gennemføre en kompetencegivende uddannelse eller finde sig et arbejde.Socialt udsatte unge har færre muligheder for at gennemføre praktikophold i udlandet end elever på erhvervsuddannelser og videregående uddannelser. Men hvad har socialt udsatte unge at fortælle, hvis de får mulighed for at gennemføre et praktikophold i udlandet?I denne bog kommer elever på de forberedende grunduddannelser (produktionsskoler) til orde. Bogen rummer 10 danske og tyske elevers livshistoriske fortællinger. Eleverne er som led i en række udviklingsforsøg blevet tilbudt at deltage i future camps, events, pop up-aktiviteter, udvekslingsbesøg og praktikophold i udlandet i samarbejde med danske og tyske virksomheder og uddannelsesinstitutioner.På baggrund af elevernes fortællinger diskuterer forfatterne spændingsforholdet mellem elevernes fortællinger og kravet om fremme af mobilitet. Desuden diskuteres forestillingen om, at rejser og udlandsophold fremmer læring og udvikling af personlige, faglige og interkulturelle kompetencer.Elevernes gribende fortællinger og den teoretiske diskus­sion heraf gør bogen velegnet som lærebog på forberedende ungdomsuddannelser, erhvervsuddannelser og videregående uddannelser.
