CHAPTER 2
1. What is the importance of the related studies and literature for your research?
In the modern world, obtaining that crucial graduate job offer no longer depends just on
having a decent degree. Nowadays, relevant job experience is just as important for
launching a successful career as a college degree and test scores. As a result, internships
have emerged as a crucial tool for individuals looking to differentiate themselves. This
research provides crucial information comparing student performance on their current
internship to their previous internship performance, which helps the school professors
and immersion trainer to increase the success and satisfaction of the tourism and
hospitality students at Aldersgate College.
One of the fundamental objectives for national growth is the quality of education
provided at the nation's higher education institutions. The type of educational preparation
pertaining to industry work is a linked topic of the ongoing concern. An educational
symposium on current issues in the food industry pinpoints its crucial role in bridging the
gaps between the need for more labor and the skills that are currently being obtained. The
role of educational training programs is seen as a key element in helping individuals gain
the abilities required by the industry. Therefore, it is essential that the objectives of
business and academia be combined. In relation to bridging the knowledge and skill gap
between what the industry needs and what the educational institution can offer.
7. Make your synthesis of the Review of Related Literature and Studies from your
Research Title.
The emphasis of "on-the-job training" for students is on the development of skills in the
workplace, usually in typical working circumstances. Prior to the invention of off-site
training classes, it was the first type of training. Working beside an experienced
employee in a specific craft or profession was the only real method to learn a job.
Students learn both broad skills that they may use to other jobs and specialized skills that
are specific to a certain career through on-the-job training. Verbal and textual education,
demonstration and observation, hands-on practice and imitation, and on-the-job training
are all included in the exposure to training.
Numerous research suggest that it is the most efficient kind of instruction. The private
sector is responsible for the lion's share of on-the-job training. Programs for formal
training on the job with firm managers and learning by doing are also available.
In the professional literature, there are two types of on-the-job training: organized
(planned) and unstructured (unplanned). Unstructured on-the-job training results in
variable training outcomes while structured on-the-job training takes upfront work and
consistently generates training outputs of predictable quality. Unstructured OJT has
several drawbacks, including the following: the desired training outcome is rarely
achieved, and when it is, trainees rarely achieve the same outcomes; the training content
is frequently incorrect or incomplete, and may represent an accumulation of bad habits,
false information, and potentially dangerous shortcuts on which employees have grown to
rely over time; experienced employees are rarely able to communicate what they know in
a way that others can understand; experienced employees use a variety of shortcuts that
are not always safe; and Many employees fear that sharing their knowledge and skills
will diminish their own status as experts and possibly jeopardize their job security.
Alternatively, they may not be given enough time off from their duties to deliver the
training to others, which increases error rates, lowers productivity, reduces training
efficiency, and is generally ineffective. Jackson, 2003
However, structured OJT has been demonstrated to be superior to unstructured
OJT and, in some situations, classroom instruction due to the way the framework of the
training allowed for skill mastering. Training goals were accomplished five times more
quickly using structured OJT than unstructured OJT. Jackson, 2003
Finally, the training inputs and training program lead to the training outputs. If everything
goes according to plan, one of the training's outcomes should be the trainee's ability to
carry out activities as assigned effectively and in line with the training objectives.
Someone must evaluate the training process—inputs, the training program, and outputs—
after a training program is complete and new hires start working independently to ensure
that it successfully prepared personnel for their tasks and to determine whether any
adjustments are required.
Additionally, the practicum program has several highlighted areas for development.
According to Freebee (2003), students believed that the practicum program lacked
parental engagement, time, and the collaborative paradigm. The latter calls for teacher
consultation. Additionally, it was noted that there was a need for additional classroom
flexibility because of the abundance of testing. She also discovered a strong correlation
between the practicum program and the students' expectations of completing the program
goals listed in the course material. It was stated that evaluating the effectiveness of
student performance outcomes should be the main emphasis of a successful program
evaluation. To do this, it must be correlated with the program's aims and objectives and
integrated with the program's learning expectations.
Before and after the internship component of their degree program, students'
assessments of their level of managerial ability were evaluated in the study by Walo
(2001). For the empirical phases of the study, a self-assessment tool leveraging the
management competences within the competing values was used. According to the
report, the internship program has been successful in helping this cohort of students
strengthen their management skills. The study shows the need for more research in this
area and offers insightful information about the connection between internships and the
growth of students' management skills.
