服务性学习——一种学生在学习内容知识、专业技能和批判性思维的同时为社区伙伴提供服务的教育体验——可以为学生和社区带来显著的好处。我们提供了对227名计算机专业大专学生的调查结果，以深入了解他们对服务学习的态度，以及这些态度与选课动机和公民责任感之间的关系。基于调查结果，我们认为在计算机专业的本科生中应该要求服务学习。然而，我们基于三种类型的陷阱对这种挑衅提出了问题：课程没有让学生了解推广技术解决方案的社会背景，缺乏教授课程的教师资源，以及可能伤害社区合作伙伴和学生。
Service learning-an educational experience in which students provide service to a community partner while learning content knowledge, professional skills, and critical thinking-can provide significant benefits to students and the community. We present survey results from 227 postsecondary students in computing to provide insights into their attitudes toward service learning, and how these relate to course-taking motivations and sense of civic duty. Based on the survey results, we argue that service learning should be required in an undergraduate computing major. However, we problematize this provocation based on three types of pitfalls: courses that do not prepare students to understand social contexts in which technical solutions are promoted, lack of resources for faculty teaching the courses, and the potential to harm both community partners and students.
