The students must reflect on and formulate their learning outcomes from their project placement by filling in an inspiration sheet before the supervision session. The inspiration sheet contains some concrete questions for reflection which the supervisor will bring up and discuss with their students during the actual supervision.
The purpose of using the inspiration sheet before and during the supervision is that it constitutes a framework for the relevance of the dialogue regarding the student’s academic development and their experience of coherence between the university and their internship host organisation.
When reflecting on the purposes of the internship and providing examples of their learning outcomes, the students have an opportunity to consider if they are working towards their original objectives and to identify the competences they are developing during the internship. They may also become aware of possible topics for their thesis.
