Fieldwork experiences can be particularly challenging for international, higher education students, as they face language and cultural difficulties, which can affect their academic progress and their fieldwork interactions with supervisors and clients. This review synthesised findings from 27 studies referring to higher education courses that employed fieldwork placements. The aims were to examine the effectiveness of placement support programs and to collate strategies that international students and/or placement supervisors felt might improve placement outcomes. Results identified a large number of activities that could be used to improve placement outcomes. However, due to the lack of comparison or observational data, it is recommended that future studies be better controlled and include longitudinal studies to better identify the effective aspects of support programs. In this way, program and policy-making will be better informed.

国际高等教育学生的实地实习成果：系统文献综述

对于国际高等教育学生而言，实地考察经验尤其具有挑战性，因为他们面临语言和文化障碍，这会影响他们的学业进步以及与主管和客户的实地考察互动。本综述综合了 27 项研究的结果，这些研究涉及采用实地实习的高等教育课程。目的是检查安置支持计划的有效性，并整理国际学生和/或安置主管认为可能会改善安置结果的策略。结果确定了大量可用于改善安置结果的活动。但由于缺乏比较或观察数据，建议更好地控制未来的研究并包括纵向研究，以更好地确定支持计划的有效方面。通过这种方式，计划和政策制定将得到更好的信息。
