- 10. A community-campus partnership had been established between an immigrant advocacy group in a neighborhood with a high prevalence of non-English speaking residents and a political science department at a nearby university. The nature of the partnership had been developed through several collaborative projects. Several political science faculty have been doing community outreach work in this neighborhood in alliance with the community partner. As part of one partnership activity, the faculty members and the community partners recognized that immigrants were being excluded from county health services because of the lack of Spanish speaking health care providers and interpreters. The immigrant advocacy group drafted a survey to assess the extent of the problem among its clients with the aim of engaging political science students in a service-learning course to help administer and analyze it.
- 11. After reviewing the survey, the political science students presented it to a faculty advisor and noted some concerns about bias in the survey. Suggestions for modification of the survey were outlined and presented to the community group. The suggestions for modification were rejected by the immigrant advocacy group. The community group then announced that they only wanted information they could use to sue the local hospital. They wanted the students to collect this information for them exclusively for the purposes of filing the lawsuit. The students and faculty felt that they were put in a compromised position and withdrew from this particular project. The community group then complained that the “campus” was not living up to its end of the bargain. From: Faculty Toolkit for Service-Learning in Higher Education

Notas do Editor
- Service Learning is a form of learning which can be implemented in all areas of study in a college or university.
- According to the AACC in 1996, from both practical and philosophical viewpoints, service-learning is a teaching and learning experience that defines itself for everyone who takes part in a service-learning program. The response and reflection of participating students, faculty, and community members form their individual definitions. That will be the touchstone for the enduring meaning of service-learning in education.
- “Service-learning is a unique opportunity for students to get involved with their communities in a tangible way through the integration of service projects with classroom learning. Through this process students become engaged in the educational process and are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to problems in the real world as actively contributing citizens. “
- Community based service-learning is a multi-faceted teaching and learning strategy and a nationally recognized model with a unique opportunity for collaboration between faculty, students, community partners, and administrators. It is a natural bridge between curricular and experiential learning activities
- Community partners provide their expertise, time and energy to the program as they construct opportunities for students to assist in meeting identified community needs. The relevance of these placements is determined in meetings and communications between educators and site supervisors. Site development is a continual part of the effectiveness of service learning. The goal is to provide faculty and students with a diverse list of relevant and stimulating sites while also taking the needs of the community into account. By involvement with community based organizations relevant resources are gathered to develop meaningful course based service opportunities.
- Service learning is a type of experiential education. The Kolb model describes the key stages that service-learners will cycle through in their educational processes: 1) concrete experiences, 2) reflective observation, 3) abstract conceptualization, and 4) active experimentation.
- Sedlak, Doheny, Panthofer, & Anaya (2003), found in their study that the experience fostered self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-reflection. “ Service-learning places the role of the nurse in a broader context, where the power of nursing presence and advocacy can be fully appreciated. A concern for civic responsibility is newly ignited as opportunities to develop citizenship skills to achieve social change are recognized.”
- Because of its connection to content acquisition and student development, service-learning inspires educational institutions to build strong partnerships with community based organizations. Whatever the setting, the core element of service-learning is that it is a beneficial experience for both the providers and recipients
- Lack of time is a major potential problem, as teaching in and facilitating a service learning course takes time. Time is also required to form partnerships, prepare students and involve partners in the design and implementation of the course. Lack of involvement of community partners in design and implementation of the service-learning projects can be another potential problem. Clear and open communication can remedy this problem. Regular contact between faculty and the service learning preceptor is necessary in order to deal with issues early. (Bradshaw, M.J. & Lowenstein, A.J., 2011).
- ‘Teacher as facilitator of learning’ in which teachers guide learners towards resources and sources of knowledge just as much as being the sources of knowledge themselves.
- Service-learning can enhance academic learning and have a significant impact on the community if it is done well. Faculty need to guide students so that the work they perform in the community enhances learning of course content.
- This diversity of discussions will enable all students to be exposed to higher level thinking skills and in turn increase their critical thinking abilities.
- “Service-learning can provide students with “transformational learning experiences.” It increases community understanding among faculty and can bring new directions and confidence to the teaching and scholarly pursuits of the faculty involved. For community partners, participation in service-learning can contribute to economic, operational, and social benefits” (Community-Campus Partnerships for Health).
