This assignment makes me nervous because this will be the first time I have gone to an

When I signed up for this course I did not know it was a service learning class. During the first class period, as the professor described that this course is a service learning course, I wasn’t sure about it but as the professor talked about what that service was I knew this would be a good experience for me since I have no knowledge about Alzheimer’s and Dementia. When she told us we would be spending 10 hours over the semester with a Alzheimer’s/ Dementia patient, I began to put a smile on my

For the service-learning project I decided to go to the kid’s club “Zuvedra” and during this time I have discovered several new things about myself. I have never thought that at the age of 20 I will behave in the same manner as kids act at the age of 8-10 years. I was playing card game such as Dixit with children of different ages and, after several games, we already knew who and in what way is thinking. In addition, during the project, after two days of practice, I have learned how to play a table

Service Learning Project Throughout the experience of participating in a whole-class service learning project, the emphasis was always placed upon teamwork. As a future educator, the ways in which we were able to come together and meet a community need was truly a humbling experience. The entire project was thoughtfully organized. This type of professionalism is what I want to embody. What happened? • As a group decision, our class decided the community lacked “A Little Free Library.” What better

Service Learning Reflection During my course I was instructed that I had to attend volunteering. I attended three very different events. One involving students with exceptionalities, the second involving younger children, and lastly, I would classify the last one as a rewarding opportunity. This essay should be regarded as a reflection of my service. It contains the details of each event I attended, what I learned, and the activities I had to do at each event. Lastly, I intend to evaluate the overall

My service learning project is about helping my community by volunteering at my local pumpkin patch with my nana. My nana asked one day if I could help with something and I said okay and come to find out I was helping at the pumpkin patch. I started Volunteering when I was 16 and I helped by driving the train around for the kids to ride in, put the pumpkins where they needed to go, and be a cashier. I absolutely love helping out there because I got to meet new people and see the faces of little

On the talequah campus is participated in a service learning activity where I assisted in the Robotics completion. At that even I watched children participate in the event. At that event a team of children and their robot coothmpeted against other teams and their robot. The challenge was putting the balls in the net. Whichever robot put the most balls in the net won. Now in this competition the children had to work together as a team to operate and fix theyre robot if and when their robot broke

In this chapter it mainly explains learning sciences, constructivist perspectives, service learning, and learning in a digital world. In this chapter it begins by explaining learning science and the basic assumptions. The basic assumption of learning science is that experts have deep conceptual knowledge, learning comes from the learner and schools must create effective learning environments. These assumptions help researchers address issues of learning with different perspectives. Another thing

Service learning represents a new paradigm within higher education. Service learning, as defined by Jacoby (1996), is “a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote learning and development” (p. 5). Service learning combines community involvement with academic instruction and provides students with the opportunity to enhance their understanding of course content

The functional area of service-learning is currently emerging as an acknowledged department at an institution of higher education. The theoretical roots of service learning go back to John Dewey, and the early twentieth century. However, current research on service-learning pedagogy dates back only to the early 1990’s. Best practices for the field are still being created as more and more new offices are springing up on campuses throughout the United States and institutions internationally. The reason
