Abstract

This study addresses the question of which design guidelines are required in order to produce powerful, effective work-related learning arrangements in higher education that will motivate students to learn. A work-related learning arrangement is defined as an 'arranged' educational learning track in an authentic working environment, where students learn in collaboration all the work processes that are typical for a portion of their future profession and the competences that go with it. In two case studies, a reconstructive study approach was taken to describe which factors are crucial for the efficiency of the design and the effectiveness of work-related learning by students. The outcomes of both case studies will be used to draw up the first version of the design guidelines (procedural and process curriculum specifications) for the further development of work-related learning arrangements.
