This document discusses the WISH method, a self-regulation strategy developed by the Better Learning in Practice project to help vocational students set and achieve personal learning goals during internships. The WISH method involves defining a learning goal, imagining achieving it, identifying potential stumbling blocks, and forming "if-then" plans to accomplish the goal despite obstacles. An evaluation after one year found the method increased students' focus on personal goals and the importance of specific, feasible objectives. Mentors' involvement also impacted the intervention's quality. The WISH method and exercise are aimed at optimizing workplace learning during internships.
