Student Assessment of the Management, Development, Satisfaction and Usefulness of Professional Internships in Higher Education Institutions
Abstract
Linkage is a key strategic activity in Higher Education Institutions that contributes to the comprehensive education of students, providing solutions to the most urgent problems of society, economic growth and the preservation of the wealth of natural resources. The importance of Higher Education Institutions to contribute their knowledge to social progress lies in the interaction between the university and society. The objective of this research was to comprehensively evaluate the professional internship programs in two higher education institutions, one public and one private. To this end, a pilot study was carried out where students from two universities located in the northwest of the country were sampled. A quantitative cross-sectional methodology and descriptive scope were used. A questionnaire instrument was designed to comprehensively evaluate the professional internship programs in the dimensions of management, development, satisfaction and usefulness. The results showed that the private university showed greater satisfaction in management and development, while the public university presented areas of improvement in all dimensions, especially in administrative management and the perception of usefulness of professional practices.
