| Abstract: | This paper aggregates the findings from five different studies that took place over a 15-year period and collected student voice data from liberal arts students who participated in one or more work-integrated learning (WIL) experience, not including co-operative education. The research was transdisciplinary and was not originally designed to exclusively explore WIL. However, the findings related to WIL align with the findings of current WIL research, and as a result, contribute additional evidence useful for defining and evaluating high-quality WIL. This paper also provides an example of an effective student voice research method that could be used to help WIL researchers gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of WIL students. The paper concludes with ideas for future research and suggested opportunities for the WIL community to enhance its research dissemination through collaboration efforts. |
