The practical research in how schools explain student's activitiesto stakeholders; development of a community partner questionnaire.

这项研究调查了大学如何衡量服务学习对社区的影响。日本的六所大学没有正式评估其影响。日本的所有大学都明白衡量对社区的影响的重要性，并认识到要衡量影响存在很多障碍。因此，他们试图从对学生表现和学习的评估中收集与社区影响相关的信息。未来的挑战是询问社区他们如何需要大学的评估或反馈。

The study investigates how colleges measure the impact of Service Learning on communities. The six colleges in Japan didn’t measure the impact formally. All the colleges in Japan understand the importance of measuring the impacts on communities and recognize that there are a lot of barriers in order to measure the impacts. Therefore, they try to collect information related to community impact from evaluations of students' performance and learning. A future challenge is to ask communities how they need evaluation or feedback from colleges.
