Service Learning
What is Service Learning? During this class, I heard a phrase more this semester than in my entire undergrad career majoring in special education at
The University of Alabama. Service learning is the name of the term. Define service learning. The professor asked at the beginning of class and we
looked uniformed. According to Wikipedia, "Service–learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in
order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs." Through– out three months, I have deliberated on this
expression as well as practiced some acts of service learning. As a result, I have acquired knowledge about community based service and I will
continually look at the special effects of service learning thru the rest of my educational career as a future teacher. Based upon my knowledge in this
course, I learned that service learning is community work being done by students to give needed service back to their community in a way that
everyone benefits. By doing so, it furthers...show more content...
Additionally, it encourages student's growth, the common good, and for the greater good of one's self and others. Service learning requires
intelligence to solve existing issues within our community. Meanwhile, service learning present students with the opportunity to be actively involved
in their learning experience and keeps students aware of problematic concerns on a daily. Because of this advantage, service learning students get to
practice social concerns and issues prior to the work force. As a young mother of two boys, I believe knowledge is power and it can change the
thinking process and as a result change the ways or actions of being, it did for me. Lastly, service learning deepens the understanding of the complex
issues surrounding our society and to do this the students must attain

Essay On Service Learning
I agree with implementing a service learning requirement for all RCBC students to graduate is a positive change. Service–learning is a teaching and
learning that are a meaningful community service in which an individual learns to get involved in meaningful services by working on projects that
will make a difference. There are several kinds of service learning activities which one is suited best is depends on the individual. The goals of service
learning are enhanced social and academic learning, develop character, citizenship skills, and learn about the issues. Such characters are essential for
the graduating student. It is valuable work that impacts the student and the community. In my opinion, a mandated service–learning requirement for
RCBC students is a positive change because it is given to the community, develops the character of students, and teaches the student practical skills.
The service learning such as meaningful community work is beneficial for the students. One kind of learning is direct service learning in which the
students' service directly impacts individuals that receive the service from the student. It involves things such as tutoring other...show more content...
As in the article "Serve or Fail" Dave Eggers states, "Meeting a World War II veteran who needs meals brought to him would be educational for the
deliverer of that meal." Involving a college student in such activities will help a student learn about how it feels to help others in need. They will learn
the valuable skills such as problem–solving. This will let them the problem people face around them, and then what it takes to solve this problem. This
inspires the students to learn about problems around them and solve them. This could help them gain in problem–solving skills, and boost their
self–esteem. Moreover, these activities provide the internal satisfaction that is highly

Service Learning Essay
The Society for Experiential Education defines service learning as, "any carefully monitored service experience in which a student has intentional
learning goals and reflects actively on what he or she is learning throughout the experience" (Staton 1). Service learning is a great opportunity to get
extra learning experiences while also experiencing the community around the universities campus. "Service learning allows students to apply what they
are learning from their instructors, peers, and readings to genuine tasks that occur outside the four walls of the classroom while simultaneously helping
others" (Staton 1). Universities are using service learning to expand beyond the classroom and provide students with experiences that will...show more

To most universities a respectable opinion in the public's eye is very important. Service learning will definitely make a great impression in people's
minds. In fact, some students are looking for a school that will give them the opportunity to impact the community surrounding the campus. Also, with
all the community service being done by the students the community is more likely to support the universities different aspects, (ie. sporting events and
academic grants). With all the support from the outside community the university will gain recognition making it a more popular school to attend. And
obviously, the more students a university has the more service projects it can do.
One concern of universities that are considering adding service learning is that not enough students will be interested in participating. There are
several ways to get students interested in service learning. One way to get their attention is to give students who participate extra benefits. Some
examples of extra benefits would be extra credit in their courses or even offering free credit hours. Another thing that would appeal to students is that
the class would meet less often because one on the classes meeting times would be their service learning project. Another benefit of service learning is

In Service–Learning and Academic Success: The Links to Retention Research, Dan Simonet puts forth the idea, that students more involved in their
learning benefit socially and academically. His writing uses a formal approach to inform educators about the ways that Service–Learning can improve
the academic success and retention of their students. Explaining one of the advantages for educators, Simonet suggests that service–learning can be a
tool to help create "positive relationships" with their students (1). Simonet uses climax to organize and present his evidence, providing various
examples of research throughout the article, to further the claim that service–learning increases student retention and bolsters their academic success.
