students, service learning is an opportunity to enrich and apply knowledge</div> <div> learned in the classroom in applied settings.  It involves active learning – </div> <div> drawing lessons from the experience of performing service work.  Your service </div> <div> experience also is an opportunity for you to learn about the context in which the </div> <div> service is provided and the connection between the service and your academic</div> <div> course work.</div> <bR> <div> Service Learning will provide you with the opportunity to:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG

    Sufficient preparation, which includes setting objectives for the skills to be</div> <div>          learned or issues to be considered; and includes planning projects so they </div> <div>          contribute to learning at the same time that work gets done.</div> <div>      </div> <div> 2.     The act of performing the actual service.</div> <bR> <div> 3.     An analysis of the experience and the lessons learned, along with the sharing </div> <div>          of the experience with others as a way to reflect on the experience and its </div> <div>          implications.  This is a way to identify and absorb what has been learned.</div> <bR> <div> Thinking about the service also creates a greater understanding of the experience </div> <div> and the way service addresses the needs of the community.  It also promotes a </div> <div> concern about community issues and a commitment to be involved as an active </div> <div> citizen.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Outcomes of Service Learning</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Service Learning</B><B> </B>then is a connection of theory and practice that puts concepts</div> <div> into concrete form and provides a context for understanding abstract matter.  This </div> <div> provides an opportunity to test and refine theories as well as introduce new </div> <div> theories.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Service Learning</B><B> </B>also uses knowledge with a historical understanding or</div> <div> appreciation of social, economic and environmental implications as well as </div> <div> moral and ethical ramifications of people’s actions.  This involves a strong use</div> <div> of communication, interpersonal and technical skills.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Service Learning</B><B> </B>also involves collecting and evaluating data, relating seemingly </div> <div> unrelated matters and ideas; and investigating a self-directed learning which includes</div> <div> inquiry, logical thinking and a relation of ideas and experience.  A transference of </div> <div> learning from one context to another will allow for the opportunity to reflect, </div> <div> conceptualize and apply experience-based knowledge.</div> <div> <B>    </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>      </B></div> <div> <B>Reflection: The Most Critical Aspect of Service Learning</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Critical reflection is an important part of your service learning and is what distinguishes service learning from other forms of experiential education.  Reflection links the </div> <div> community service experience with course materials, such as readings and lectures.  Reflective tools include:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Aria006c00950118cc006600.gif" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="19" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0"
