WORK-BASED LEARNING WORKSHOP 12 July 2023 (Wed) / 09.00 am - 01.00 pm Putra Future Classroom (PFC), FPP* [NEW VENUE] Block I, Faculty of Educational Studies, UPM Trainer: Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Muhammad Fahmi Miskon Faculty of Electrical Engineering Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)     Work-based learning (WBL) is a subset of workplace learning. WBL refers specifically to the achievement of ‘planned learning outcomes’ derived from the experience of performing a work role or function. WBL, therefore, differs from conventional education in that it involves conscious reflection on actual experience. That reflection on practice offers an advantage of providing a way in which learners can be supported in structuring their workplace experience to identify their learning from that experience. One thing, however, is clear: there is no single or simple definition of what WBL entails beyond the notion that it is about learning (not teaching) and occurs in the workplace (rather than on campus). It should not be assumed that WBL in the higher education context is specifically about training; WBL may take many forms and be undertaken for a number of different purposes; and it is not restricted to performance-related learning in a narrow sense. Instead, the emphasis is on identifying and demonstrating learning that has occurred through work-based activity, wherever and however this may have been achieved.     At the end of the session, participants will be able to:   demonstrate a successful work-based learning project; explore WBL impacts on students’ employability; and simulate real-time industrial practices through WBL approach cross disciplines.
