Conditions for developing the Practicum

Abstract

The article analyzes the conditions considered fundamental for the development of good practicum programs and practices in companies. There are four conditions that it poses: 1) doctrinal; 2) curricula; 3) organizational; and 4) personal. From the conjunction of an appropriate articulation of the practicum in the four axes, the best or worst definition of its meaning and its contributions to the training of future professionals will be derived. It warns of possible dangers that could hinder the realization of good practices and proposes ten quality criteria for the practicum.
