室內設計與裝修是在學理知能與工程技術上具有相當程度執業門檻的學科,學生在校的學習易有學習深度與經驗累積不足的問題,室內設計業者也反映畢業生無法在實務上立即上手。解決這些問題的策略與方法之一即是要求學生於畢業前必須完成專業實務的校外實習。本研究以質性訪談法中的半結構式訪談法,採取立意抽樣選取受訪者,從參與大學校院室內設計校外實習的學生、學校教師及業者三方面,了解學生在實習過程中所遭遇的問題與獲得的助益、學校課程規劃與教學內容的適當性及業界對於學生的期望。研究結論包括校外實習對於學生在實務技能及學習態度有所提升,接觸廣泛而多樣性的工作項目及內容,對於學生的實習效益較大。學生至少應在完成大二的課程再到業界實習,適宜的校外實習是連續至少半年的時間,因而推動學期制的校外實習應是各校系未來的方向。各校所訂之「教育目標」與業界需求有落差;「溝通技能」類別課程對於同學實習與就業最為重要,「永續創新」類別課程的重要性為最低;傳統畢業設計進行的方式與內容對於同學未來在職場就業時的助益不大,應縮小題目規模並加入更多實務的內容。
Interior design and decoration is a discipline with a considerable degree of practical threshold in theroetical knowledge and engineering technology. Students learning in an institute tend to have problems about lacking of depth and accumulated experiences. Most interior design personnel also reflect university graduates cannot get started immediately in practice. One of the strategies and methods to solve these problems is to require students complete off-campus internship program for professional practice before their graduation. In this study, the methd of semi-structured interview is adopted and respondents are selected by purposive sampling. To explore the problems encounted and the benefits received for students from the off-campus internships, the appropriateness of curriculum planning and teaching content, and the expectations of industry personnel to students, interns, faculty, and industry personnel are interviewed. Research findings include the practical skills and learning attitude of students improved after internships, students are benefited greatly if they touch extensive and diverse work projects and content during their internships. Students should join off-campus internships after they complete sophomore courses. It is appropriate for a student to be an intern in an interior design company for at least six months continuously and, therefore, one-semester internships should be promoted in the future. There are diversities between educational goals set by interior design departments and the needs required by industry personnel. The most importance course category is “communication skills” and “sustainable innovation” category is of little significance for students’ internships. The traditional way and content of graduation designs are not useful for students in their future works. The size of design works should be reduced and more practical content should be involved.
