目的——本文的目的是从促进沿海可持续发展教育(ESD)的经验中汲取发展社区与大学伙伴关系的经验教训。设计/方法/途径——分析了从两个沿海社区外展项目收集的定性数据。调查结果——外展项目改善了大学与社区成员之间的关系。在项目的早期阶段进行访谈非常重要,以了解社区的需求并设定项目成果以满足社区定义的优先事项。推广基于社区与大学合作伙伴关系的可持续发展教育项目的最有效方法是与积极参与社区项目的当地个人建立联系,并将项目理念嵌入到这些人的活动中。将学术界与当地社区联系起来的调解人有助于促进伙伴关系,而大学生被发现是成功的调解人。 原创性/价值——根据在社区开展可持续发展教育项目所获得的经验,本研究为启动基于社区-大学伙伴关系的服务学习或社区研究提供了一些线索。
Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to draw lessons for developing community‐university partnerships from experiences in promoting coastal education for sustainable development (ESD).Design/methodology/approach–Qualitative data collected from two coastal community outreach projects were analyzed.Findings–The outreach projects improved the relationship between university and community members. It is important to conduct interviews at the early stages of the projects to understand the needs of the community and set project outcomes to meet community‐defined priorities. The most effective means for promoting an ESD program based upon community‐university partnerships is to reach out to and network with local individuals who have been active in community projects and embed the program concept into the activities of those individuals. Mediators who link the academic community with the local community are helpful in promoting the partnerships, and university students were found to be successful mediators.Originality/value–On the basis of the experiences gained from starting an ESD program in the community, this research provides some clues to initiate service learning or community‐based research based upon community‐university partnerships.
