An In-Depth Study of the Internship Concept as Part of the Doctoral Program in Vocational-Technical Education. The Development of the Internship: An Historical Perspective. Part II. Final Report.
Mintz, Florence; House, Elaine W., Ed.
This monograph forms the second part of a project which intends to: (1) provide an historical background of the internship concept in education and other professions, (2) examine the internship as implemented in the 11 original institutions founded under the 1968 Amendments of the Vocational Education Act of 1963, and (3) conduct an in-depth evaluation of the internship at Rutgers, a state university in New Jersey. Since the introduction of the internship in medicine during the late 19th century, other professions have tailored the concept to fit immediate and future training needs. Guidelines for the internship vary with the profession or discipline; however, the principles established by Newell have been widely accepted. The internship is basically viewed as the most efficient and effective method of combining theory and practice while the student is developing competency, preparing to play a differing role, and aspiring to advance in a field of his choice. An annotated bibliography and a list of selected references are included. (AG)
