Thesis Abstract
AbstractIn the context of students undergoing Industrial Training (IT) or Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) attachments, effective communication between the students and their school supervisors is crucial for a successful learning experience. However, traditional communication methods such as phone calls, emails, and physical meetings may not always be efficient or convenient. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of an interactive online platform that facilitates regular communication between students and school supervisors during the students' IT/SIWES attachment period. The proposed online platform aims to provide a structured and user-friendly interface that allows students to update their supervisors on their progress, challenges faced, and achievements during their attachment. Likewise, supervisors can provide guidance, feedback, and support to the students through the platform. By enabling continuous and transparent communication, the platform seeks to enhance learning outcomes, ensure timely intervention in case of issues, and strengthen the student-supervisor relationship. Key features of the online platform include personalized user profiles for students and supervisors, messaging capabilities for direct communication, file sharing for documentation and reports, progress tracking tools, and reminders for important deadlines or meetings. The platform will be designed with a focus on usability, security, and scalability to accommodate a large number of users across different departments and disciplines. The design and implementation process will involve requirements gathering from stakeholders, user interface design to ensure intuitive navigation and accessibility, backend development for data management and security, and testing phases to identify and address any technical issues. User training and onboarding materials will also be developed to ensure a smooth transition to the new platform. The research will also evaluate the effectiveness of the online platform by measuring key performance indicators such as communication frequency, response times, user satisfaction, and overall impact on the IT/SIWES experience. Feedback from students, supervisors, and administrative staff will be collected to iteratively improve the platform and address any shortcomings. Overall, the implementation of an interactive online platform for student-supervisor communication during IT/SIWES attachments has the potential to streamline processes, foster collaboration, and enhance the overall educational experience for students.
Thesis Overview
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skills training programme designed to expose and prepare students of universities and other tertiary institutions for the Industrial Work situation they are likely to meet after graduation. It is also a planned and structured programme based on stated and specific career objectives which are geared towards developing the occupational competencies of participants (Mafe, 2009). Consequently, the SIWES programme is a compulsory graduation requirement for all Nigerian university students offering certain courses.
The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), is the accepted training programme, which is part of the approved Minimum Academic Standard in the various degree programmes for all Nigerian Universities. The scheme is aimed at bridging the existing gap between theory and practice of Sciences, Agriculture, Medical Sciences (including Nursing), Engineering and Technology, Management, and Information and Communication Technology and other professional educational programmes in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. It is aimed at exposing students to machines and equipment, professional work methods and ways of safeguarding the work areas and workers in industries, offices, laboratories, hospitals and other organizations.
Prior to establishing the Scheme, industrialists and other employers of labor felt concerned that graduates of Nigeria Universities were deficient in practical background studies preparatory for employment in Industries and other organizations. The employers thus concluded that the theoretical education being received in our higher institutions was not responsive to the needs of the employers of labor. Consequently, the rationale for initiating and designing the scheme by the Industrial Training Funds ITF, in 1973.
The scheme is a tripartite programme involving the students, the universities and the employers of labor. It is funded by the Federal Government and jointly coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the National Universities Commission (NUC)
1.2STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The Industrial Training/Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme is usually intended for students to get valuable work experience relating to their field of study, due to the difficulty in getting work placement students often find themselves getting jobs in areas far away from their institutions. Supervisors have to wait till the end of the training scheme to assess the performance of the students. As a result of this problem, supervisors find it very difficult to monitor the progress of the student regularly.
1.3AIM OF THE STUDY
The aim of this study is to provide an interactive online platform for students and school supervisors to communicate regularly during the students IT/SIWES attachment.
1.4OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
· To enable school supervisor monitor the progress of the students during their IT/SIWES training.
· To enable students and supervisors communicate regularly, this in turn enables the student to provide feedbacks regarding problems encountered during his/her training program.
· To enable the lecturer/supervisor determine if the student is gaining relevant work experience during the IT/SIWES training.
1.5SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study covers the student and lecturer/supervisor progress report. The automation involves an online portal where the student and lecturers/supervisors can interact regularly.
1.6SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will help to bridge the communication gap between students and supervisors during the students IT/SIWES training programming, it seeks to provide a steady communication stream via the use of online resources, so as to ensure effective monitoring of students, irrespective of the distance where the student is carrying out his/her training.
1.7LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
As a result of the various stages involved in IT reporting, this research work would be limited to only weekly feedbacks, and the full technical reports submitted at the end of the IT/SIWES exercise. Also this research is limited to an online interaction between a student and his/her supervisor
