- W2184328181 abstract "Introduction The incorporation of service learning in higher education is on the rise (Butin, 2006). It is imperative for instructors in academia to critically examine the components of service learning so that maximum benefits can be obtained for all parties involved. If the service learning experience is properly aligned with course content, it can enhance student understanding by effectively connecting community action to course concepts (Dunlap et al., 2007). If it is not properly aligned, service learning has the potential to reinforce negative stereotypes regarding power inequalities between students and community members in need (d'Arlack, Sanchez, & Feurer, 2009). This article examines the rationale for including a service learning component in the human service curriculum as well as recommendations and cautions for including such an approach. Definition of Service Learning For the purpose of this article, service learning is defined as a course-based educational experience in which students participate in organized community service to gain a deeper understanding of course content, civic responsibility, and a broader appreciation of the discipline (Bringle, Hatcher, & Games, 1997). Many universities across the country are incorporating service learning courses and assignments into the curriculum (Butin, 2006). The intent, quite simply, is to combine the needs of the community into the classroom content, thus becoming a win-win for all parties involved (Blouin & Perry, 2009). Tryon et al. (2008) explained one of the most popular ways of adding in an experiential component for students is by including a service learning assignment into an existing course. Rationale for Service Learning within Human Services Human service programs are representative of a trend in higher education that emphasizes university/community partnerships (Eyler & Giles, 2001; Fair, 2007; Slavkin, 2007). Human service programs and other service oriented disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, and counseling, are well qualified to incorporate community needs into the curriculum due to their emphasis on human welfare and well-being (Fair, 2007). As a part of their education and training, students in human services are being prepared to understand human problems and to intervene effectively in them by offering an interdisciplinary approach to helping, grounded in the social sciences (Woodside, Curruth, Clapp, & Robertson, 2006.). Therefore, combining service learning and human services creates a compatible dynamic by which the results are mutually beneficial. Communities benefit by having aspiring professionals investing time and energy into neighborhood improvements (Sperling, 2007), and students have opportunities to connect classroom learning to the realities of an actual human service setting (McClam, Diambra, Burton, Fuss, & Fudge, 2007). It is important to note that the service learning activities do not need to be linearly connected to career interests because the same core skills can be applied across human service job settings (McClam et al., 2007). Another consideration for the inclusion of service learning in human service education is the decrease in federal funding to support community programs. It behooves communities to form relationships with universities to help meet the needs of the area. Nontraditional efforts, such as university/community partnerships are needed now more than ever (Brown & Kinsella, 2006). It is important to examine these partnerships and the factors that contribute to their success (Brown & Kinsella, 2006; Eyler & Giles, 2001; Slavkin, 2007). Benefits to Service Learning in Human Service Education Successful service learning projects are an influential medium that can fundamentally result in numerous benefits for students (Slavkin, 2007). Traditional lecture-style classrooms reach students at the cognitive level, but when combined with a service learning component, students are able to engage in course content cognitively, affectively, and behaviorally (Sperling, 2007). …" @default.
