摘要：In 1974 a Berufsakademie or ‘university of cooperative education’ in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was established to construct a model of cooperative education. This model practiced at the Berufsakademie is unique compared to that of German higher educational institutions offering work-integrated learning programs or work placements. In order to be accepted into the Berufsakademie, students must possess a university entrance degree and additionally must be contracted with a company or a governmental institution for three years. The participants of this cooperative education or work-integrated learning model are thus both students and employees. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Berufsakademie program, the international Berufsakademie partnerships in the west and east, experiences with the Berufsakademie model in India and Indonesia, and to reflect upon implications for the potential use for this work-related learning methodology higher education in both western and eastern countries. From a review of the literature it appears that greater interaction between industry and educational institutions (beyond say internships) can assist the academic sector in bringing experiences to students, and thus provides innovation to improve and strengthen work-integrated learning.
