Students’ Performance in Practical Training: Academicians Evaluation
ABSTRACT One of the platforms used to produce
high-quality graduates is practical training (PT). It is distressing to
discover, however, that the performance of students in the PT program is
still questionable. Apart from the on-site assessment done by the
students' respective employers, an evaluation by academicians is vital,
in order to provide a holistic evaluation of the students' PT
performance. The focus of this study is placed on the academicians'
evaluation of students' PT from a built environment school in one of the
research universities in Malaysia. The criteria assessed are: students'
commitment, work quality, effort, communication skills, comprehension
of work, self-confidence, and technical skills. To assess this, 3
performance scales have been used. The data were analyzed using
descriptive analysis in SPSS. The results indicate that the academicians
are satisfied that the students have given their best effort in their
PT program. The academicians suggest that the students need to improve
on their work quality, communication skills and effort. (c) 2013 The
