Practical and theoretical learning are methods that are used in schools as a
way to prepare students for the working life. Within the practical learning
knowledge is not only acquired to learn in practice, but the students must also
be able to apply their theoretical knowledge to what he/she does. Against this
background, the aim of the study was to investigate the importance of practical
learning for students in college / university level and how they are
experiencing the stress that may arise out of the loss of practical learning
during their education, as well as their vision for working life after
completing their education.
The population of the study consisted of N = 36, which 18 of these had used
both practical and theoretical learning and the remainder had only used
theoretical learning. The method was a questionnaire survey with a high
proportion of fixed alternative answers according to likert scales. The
analysis tool was SPSS and to produce descriptive statistics crosstabulations
were used. Independent-Samples T Test was also used in order to find the
significance of the variables between practice and non-practice during
education and the statements. The results based on crosstabulation tests
between the different variables, showed that whether students used practice or
not in their education, they consider that the practice leads to improved job
opportunities, and that students with practice in their education consider that
they generally have more control over their study time and what is required of
them in school.
