Abstract

Within the scope of this project, the removal of time and place restrictions during and after the COVID-19 process; It is aimed to offer internship opportunities with the Architecture and Design Education Digital Internship (MITEDIS) program, with the advantages such as ease of feedback and process management by recording the entire process in a digital environment, and to offer a solution proposal for increasing the efficiency and quality of student acquisition. In the participant-oriented evaluation process within the scope of the project, student skills and achievements within the scope of digital internship with academic mentors, the requirements for the evaluation process of the digital internship with the internship board mentor group, the creation and scoring of the evaluation sheet, and the task categories data were revealed. Another finding is the algorithmic language created by transferring all the data defined in the needs analysis process within the scope of digital internship to the software. In this context; In the MİTEDİS program, which was prepared within the framework of Bologna for the skills and acquisitions that students can acquire during their internship, a flexible and dynamic process that can be revised/renewed for changing, developing and differentiating needs without time limit has been revealed. The opinions of the interns, stakeholders and internship commission involved in the project that experienced MİTEDİS were taken; The weaknesses and strengths of the targeted skills and acquisitions for the content of MİTEDİS, which constitutes the main fiction of the study, were determined, and the opportunities and threats they presented were evaluated through the interns. Finally, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the software were determined from the students who experienced MİTEDİS and evaluations were made accordingly. digital internship; While responding to the skills and gains gained during the office, construction site and alternative internship process during the COVID-19 process, it also introduced a new type of internship related to the Bologna process after COVID-19. Unlike virtual internships, the evaluation system for skills and achievements; provided the opportunity for students to communicate effectively with stakeholder institution officials and internship commission. Thus, it is expected that the results obtained from the project will be shared and disseminated, creating a source and ground for new research projects, and the use of the software in the process will become widespread. The main model of the study defines a new generation internship training based on skills and acquisitions defined as Bologna program qualifications for architecture, planning and design-based departments.
