It also link theory with practice by providing regular structured and supervised opportunities for student to apply and test knowledge, skills and attitudes, developed largely in campus based studies, to the real world of the school and the school community. For many students, the practicum is a very positive and meaningful experience, but for some the practicum can fall short of expectations. The quality of every practicum experience can be enhanced if students are provided with guidance in identifying and making use of learning opportunities.
