ACE-WIL BC PD and Networking Session:
'NUDGING’ WIL STUDENTS THROUGH STICKY SPOTS
|
Are you looking to boost engagement among your students before, during and after their WIL experiences? Do you want to help them to make the choices that you know will improve their WIL experiences? The ACE-WIL BC/Yukon Research Committee developed a toolkit to help WIL practitioners’ facilitate an enriched student experience and reduce the impact of common challenges encountered during the job search process and beyond.
|
In the session, you will:
|
- Learn more about the research project
- Explore how you can apply nudges in your WIL setting
- Workshop evaluation methods of the suggested interventions with fellow practitioners
The ACE-WIL BC/Yukon Research Committee developed this toolkit to help WIL practitioners’ facilitate an enriched WIL student experience and reduce the impact of common challenges encountered during the job search process and beyond.
|
The toolkit was motivated by the fact that 'nudging' has demonstrated positive results by successfully increasing the uptake of post-secondary work placements (Fowlie et al., 2020). Inspired by how behavioural insights (BI) influence actions and outcomes without awareness of the exposure to the stimulus, most nudges apply priming and other related cognitive biases and heuristics, to make it easier for students to make good choices.
