Preparing BSW Students for Service-Learning: Enhancing Epistemological Reflection
Averett, Paige E.; Arnd-Caddigan, Margaret
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v34 n3 p316-331 2014
This article includes a review of the literature on personal epistemology and the reflective judgment model and applies these theoretical concepts to undergraduate students who engage in service-learning projects. The application will provide instructors with greater understanding of students' abilities and limitations in their service-learning experiences. Included are traditional, modern, and expressive teaching activities that were designed, with literature support, to enhance students' epistemological reflection and aid them in preparing for and completing service-learning projects.
