Results of the Internship Evaluation at Radboud Teachers Academy - February 2023

Not only was the education at Radboud Teachers Academy evaluated half a year ago, but you also completed the internship survey. We would like to share the outcomes of this survey with you. It's great to see that the overall impression is positive. Many high scores: satisfied students indeed! You rate your internship experience as a whole with a 7.9.

Strengths

The survey questions focus on two perspectives: guidance from the placement school and guidance from the institute. You express satisfaction with both perspectives. The mentors at the placement schools are described as approachable, providing valuable feedback, and being open to questions. This applies not only to your direct mentors but also to the entire team within which you are completing your internship. You also mention good communication and the room for experimentation as strong points.

You also view the guidance from the institute as positive. The institute instructors are approachable and supportive.

Areas for Improvement

Are there no areas for improvement at all? Yes, there certainly are. The majority of you mention that you had either no access or inadequate access to (ICT) facilities, or it took too long to arrange adequate access. Additionally, you find the connection between theory and practice and the institute and the internship not always clear. It's not that it's invisible, but there is room for better alignment. For instance, some topics covered during institute instruction have already been addressed during the internship.

In Summary

Looking back, we see impressive results and satisfied students. Of course, with the note that there are areas to be improved during the internship as well. The results of this evaluation will be shared with both the RDA and the placement schools, so that all your feedback is addressed comprehensively. It's great that you've made your voices heard and are contributing to an increasingly better education.
