    Practicum Objectives and Learning Goals

    Uploaded by

    api-291492035
    This document outlines the learning goals and objectives for a practicum placement in an archival studies program. The goals are to develop a professional identity and approach to work through hands-on experience in tasks like scanning documents, display work, processing archival materials, and making materials available for research. The student aims to gain problem-solving skills, conceptual thinking, and a commitment to ongoing professional development and contributing to social issues. A learning contract will be developed between the student, agency, and college to specify objectives and provide a basis for evaluating performance during the 120-hour practicum placement at a university special collections repository.
