AbstractIn Masters Year, the student will create an extended research proposal for the three-year project based on the below methods and literature.The aim of the proposed studentship project is to develop new knowledge and practical methods for evaluating the impact of work-based learning (WBL) on industry performance. It addresses a need for outcome-based measures to assess long-term benefits of WBL. The research will survey the extent of current provision and impact of WBL in Scottish industry and analyse the attributes of WBL that contribute to improved productivity and performance. A novel approach to measuring the impact of WBL on firm performance will be explored. Rather than take a purely skills perspective (i.e. mapping skills and outputs), the focus will be on measuring maturity of 'expansive' work-based learning environments (WBLE) that include educational providers and sectoral bodies and that demonstrate 'Industry 4.0' characteristics in their use of real-time data and context-sensitive information to create an optimal learning experience which leads to increased productivity.The studentship project will benefit from the combined research expertise and experience of the supervisory team and the research environment in the Centre for Social Informatics at Edinburgh Napier University. The proposed project is achievable in collaboration with Skills Development Scotland and with the supervisory team's direct connections with industry and employers through the University's Graduate Apprentice Programmes, one-year undergraduate WBL programme on School of Computing degree courses, and involvement with e-Placement Scotland and ScotlandIS.The outcomes of the studentship will underpin policy development in work-based learning and support the work of SDS by identifying and providing evidence of good practice; and developing new approaches in work-based learning with a particular focus on work-based learning environments.

在硕士学年，学生将根据以下方法和文献为三年期项目创建一个扩展的研究计划，该计划的目的是开发新的知识和实用方法，以评估基于工作的学习（WBL）对行业绩效的影响。它解决了需要基于结果的措施，以评估WBL的长期效益。该研究将调查苏格兰工业目前提供WBL的程度和影响，并分析WBL有助于提高生产力和绩效的属性。一种新的方法来衡量WBL对公司业绩的影响将被探索。而不是从纯粹的技能角度（即规划技能和产出），重点将是衡量“广泛的”基于工作的学习环境（WBLE）的成熟度，其中包括教育提供者和部门机构，并在使用实时数据和背景方面展示“工业4.0”特征-敏感的信息，以创造一个最佳的学习经验，从而提高生产力。学生项目将受益于结合研究专业知识和经验的监督团队以及爱丁堡纳皮耶大学社会信息学中心的研究环境。拟议的项目是与苏格兰技能发展合作，并通过大学的研究生学徒计划，为期一年的计算机学位课程学院本科WBL课程，并参与电子安置苏格兰和ScotlandIS。学生的成果将巩固工作中的政策制定-通过确定和提供良好做法的证据，支持战略部署数据库的工作;制定基于工作的学习的新方法，特别注重基于工作的学习环境。
