The Impact of Service Learning on Students: Lessons for Faculty
Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
A study was conducted in order to determine the impact of service learning on student outcomes in a foundational undergraduate course in Special Education. The study is atypical in that it includes a variety of students from diverse majors and ranks; the service learning placements are outside of student majors; and, it included multiple years of investigation. Findings reaffirm the specific strengths of using service learning as a pedagogical tool. The presenters and audience will engage in a discussion of the use of a student impact study in curriculum development and establishing accountability for learning outcomes.
