“…The results of this study are in line with research (Moriarty et al, 2013;Demiral, 2017), which says that job shadowing has great benefits for students because they can directly learn by imitating what is seen when the instructor is working and then the instructor responds to student work. It also fosters intense communication between instructors and students.…”

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the job shadowing learning model in the practice of normal delivery care for task skills. This type of quantitative research has a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design. The sample size is 33 people. The collection used a task-skill questionnaire about normal delivery care. The task skill components measured include task management skills (TMS), work environment skills (WES), interpersonal skills (IS), and workplace learning skills (WLS). The results showed a difference in the average pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2 task skills, which experienced an increase. Statistically, the t-dependent test shows a p-value of 0.000, meaning that the job shadowing learning model in normal delivery care effectively increases task skills. It is hoped that midwifery education institutions will strengthen the evaluation of learning about normal delivery care practices through the job shadowing learning model by paying attention to the task skill aspect. This requires increased external cooperation, such as maternity homes and hospitals, as places for midwifery students to apply their knowledge.

“…However, one of the most valuable benefits for STEM is that it can also increase the confidence of underrepresented groups of people that a career path is a correct choice for them. A job shadowing program for women in engineering helped to reduce gender-related fears that they would not fit in or be able to succeed in the field [6]. Job shadowing has played a role in industry-developed outreach programs to promote future diversity in the workforce [7].…”

Most individuals are familiar with job shadowing as a standard practice in industry. Job shadowing takes on many forms, but for university students, it usually involves spending a short period observing someone working in industry. The role or roles they are observing are potential future career paths. Job shadowing helps students define their future aspirations and motivate them to perform in their current studies. Industries also benefit from job shadowing programs as they provide them with a pipeline of potential future employees. Job shadowing programs exist across multiple domains, including STEM fields, K-12 teaching positions, and the medical professionals' field. The body of literature on job shadowing practices covers these domains. These programs are implemented in various ways, with their advantages and disadvantages summarized and presented in publications. This paper takes the knowledge applied across various domains and suggests a new type of mentorship program centered around academia. For students interested in working in industry, job shadowing occurs in tandem with other experiential learning opportunities, such as internships or Co-Ops. These opportunities often benefit students because they allow them to decide if this work is right for them. However, students who could aspire to remain in academia, i.e., Ph.D. students, do not have the same opportunity. It can be challenging for students to understand what a Ph.D. does in academia, which might discourage them from considering the career as a choice. Furthermore, the few who know they want to work in academia may not know whether they want to be a teaching-oriented professor or a research-focused professor. An established job shadowing program allows students to decide what is best for them and their future careers and consider pursuing a Ph.D. as a valid career choice. A consequence of establishing a program like this could be that more students are encouraged to pursue Ph.D. programs, particularly individuals who are underrepresented in academia. This paper presents the results of reviewing the existing literature on job shadowing programs, analyzes the effects of these programs across domains, and provides advantages and disadvantages that would be applicable to the academic setting. In addition, best practices for implementing job shadowing programs are adapted and presented to provide universities and educators with a guide for beginning a job shadowing program. Finally, for students interested in an academic job shadowing program, this paper also presents a roadmap that can act as a guide for students to follow and create their own shadowing plan if they do not have access to one.
