An exploratory study on the application of a work-integrated learning model in university: Focusing on real estate and tourism major

Abstract

This study was conducted to develop a work-integrated learning model to intentionally link and integrate students' work experiences in future job sites and university curriculum, and to propose application plans focusing on real estate and tourism majors. To achieve this research purpose, theoretical and practical prior studies and domestic and foreign cases of work-integrated learning were reviewed, and based on this, a work-integrated learning model consisting of four types: a full-course integrated model, a specific area advanced model, a specific topic-oriented model, and a multi-process diversification model was proposed. Due to the nature of the major as a specific integrated learning application plan, the real estate major was presented as a specific topic-oriented model, and the tourism major was presented as a full-course integrated model. The implication of this study is that it presented a work-integrated learning model that can be implemented in universities and specific application plans centered on real estate and tourism majors. The limitation of this study is that there is no related research in Korea, so it is presented as an exploratory study, and future studies will require research on effective detailed program application and evaluation methods for each integrated learning model.
