Product Evaluation and Advice internship

For the PEA internship you will work in teams (3 to 4 students) for an organization (‘consultant style’) and will evaluate a Communication/Educational product in-depth. Based on the evaluation results you will write an advisory report (if time allows some redesign work can be done as well)

The concrete deliverables of the internship are to be handed in and the end of the course. In addition, you reflect on your own professional development by means of learning aims which you have set up for yourself at the start of the internship.

Project

Within given constraints, you will work on an advisory report that fits the wishes of the organization, the evaluation of existing programmes and/or setup a communication programme. Starting with a rudimentary internship job offer, you can:

• in an efficient manner collaborate while working on an educational and or didactical challenge; 
• evaluate a concrete product using scientific methodes of his/her own choice, taking into account the wishes and needs of users; 
• share results with peers and client in an efficient manner.

Seminars

Next to working for an organization as an intern you will attend weekly seminars. The seminars have the aim to scaffold your working on the project. We will pay attention to, amongst others, instructional design theories, design tools and theories on change and innovation in (science) education. In addition, during the seminars the different school projects will be presented to enable collegial feedback and intervision.

Internship placement

The internships are organized by the Freudenthal Institute or by one self.
