Impact of Service Learning on Personal, Social, and Academic Development of Community Nutrition Students
Gupta, Kritika; Grove, Blake; Mann, Georgianna
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v13 n3 2021
Service learning connects theoretical knowledge to community settings. Reflective journals were used to document student service-learning experiences in a Community Nutrition course component. Reflective journal data obtained from students (n=137) during different semesters were analyzed qualitatively. The service-learning partners included Nutrition Education, Food Provision, and Local Food sites. Positive impacts were noted on personal, social, and academic development of students for all sites. Service-learning assignments can impart transferrable skills and enhance student development.
