- Title
Using Practitioner Experiences in Experiential Learning.
- Authors
Collier, James E.
- Abstract
In different research studies, many practitioners have voiced concerns about the professional preparedness and skill levels of current communication graduates. The relative knowledge and specific skill sets of a university's communication program graduates are critical to the opinions of the current practitioners who control the professional opportunities available in the students' future. These seemingly harsh criticisms by professionals deserve increased attention from educators because many are the gatekeepers for the profession. This attention is also warranted by the fact the credibility and perceived effectiveness of the programs as a resource for future professionals is highly dependent on the perceived competency of their graduates (Schwartz, Yarbrough & Shakara, 1992).
