Abstract

This article is a critical review of the internship measurement scales in higher education. Although the importance of internships is widely acknowledged in the literature, there is a scarcity of attempts to construct a scale to measure internship outcomes. In fact, a thorough examination of the internship literature reveals that there are only two internship measurement scales, which are relatively recent. It is a widespread practice that empirical studies in this area use job-related scales in their endeavour to measure internship-related constructs such as internship satisfaction and internship effectiveness. This is mostly due to the lack of available internship scales and partly due to the naive assumption that job-related scales can be somehow altered and may readily be adapted to internship-related contexts, disregarding the contextual and contractual differences between a job and an internship. This casts doubt on the validity of the findings in those studies. However, the valid measurement of internships is not only necessary to meet the highest academic standards but also to make evidence-based employability policies in higher education institutions. Therefore, this article aims to highlight the need to measure internship processes more effectively based on a sound method and bring this issue to the attention of the research community worldwide. To that end, the existing scales of internship are critically examined and areas for improvements are highlighted.

高等教育实习测量量表的批判
本文对高等教育实习测量量表进行了综述。尽管实习的重要性在文献中得到广泛认可,但构建衡量实习结果的量表的尝试却很少。事实上,对实习文献的深入研究表明,只有两个实习测量量表,这是相对较新的。这一领域的实证研究普遍采用与工作相关的量表来衡量实习相关的构念,如实习满意度和实习有效性。这主要是由于缺乏可用的实习量表,部分原因是由于天真的假设,即与工作相关的量表可以以某种方式改变,并且可以很容易地适应与实习相关的背景,而忽略了工作和实习之间的背景和合同差异。这使人们对那些研究结果的有效性产生了怀疑。然而,有效的实习测量不仅是达到最高学术标准的必要条件,也是高等教育机构制定循证就业政策的必要条件。因此,本文旨在强调基于一种合理的方法更有效地衡量实习过程的必要性,并将这一问题引起全世界研究界的注意。为此目的,严格审查了现有的实习比额表,并着重指出了有待改进的领域。

期刊介绍: Educational Research Review is an international journal catering to researchers and diverse agencies keen on reviewing studies and theoretical papers in education at any level. The journal welcomes high-quality articles that address educational research problems through a review approach, encompassing thematic or methodological reviews and meta-analyses. With an inclusive scope, the journal does not limit itself to any specific age range and invites articles across various settings where learning and education take place, such as schools, corporate training, and both formal and informal educational environments.
