通过在高等教育中使用服务学习,大学希望既能给合作社区带来真正的好处,又能让学生更好地了解课程设置、他们的学科以及他们在社会中的个人定位。通过这些教育活动,服务学习旨在让学生参与批判性思维过程,同时通过有针对性地参与有意义的社区服务活动,实现更大的公民和社会责任感。然而,在实践中,服务学习可以根据技术、文化、社会和政治限制采取各种形式。因此,虽然一些研究显示了对学生态度、社会行为和学习成绩的积极影响,但很少有研究显示了对社区的长期影响。也没有多少研究表明,参与服务学习对学生的道德观点和框架有长期影响,以及这些道德框架是否会延续到他们的职业生涯中。此外,由于机构与诸如美国无国界工程师组织这样的人道主义服务组织合作,鉴于这些固有的技术、政治和文化限制,我们对通过这种伙伴关系发展起来的机构文化和气候以及它们的可持续性知之甚少。作为实现这些目标的第一步,本文提出了一种方法来调查服务学习活动对学生和社区的影响。
Through the use of service learning in higher education, universities hope to both provide real benefit to the partnering community and allow students to develop a greater understanding of course curriculum, their discipline, and their personal positioning within society. Through these educational activities, service learning seeks to engage students in critical thinking processes while simultaneously achieving a greater sense of civic and social responsibility through targeted participation in meaningful community service activities. However, in practice, service learning can take a variety of forms predicated on technical, cultural, societal, and political constraints. Thus, while some work shows positive effects on students’ attitudes, social behaviour, and academic performance, less research has demonstrated long-term community impact. Nor has much research shown that participation in service learning has a long-term impact on students' ethical perspectives and frameworks, and whether those ethical frames carry on to their professional careers. Moreover, as institutions partner with such humanitarian service groups as Engineers Without Borders USA, we know considerably less about the institutional cultures and climates that are developed through such partnerships and how sustainable they are, given those inherent technical, political and cultural limitations. As a first step towards these goals, this paper proposes a methodology for investigating the impacts of service learning activities on both the students and communities involved.
