Implementing Service Learning into a Graduate Social Work Course: A Step-by-Step Guide
Campbell, Evelyn Marie
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v32 n3 p300-313 2012
Service learning is a powerful pedagogical tool linking community service to academic learning. Several steps are necessary to implement service learning effectively into the curriculum. This study uses a case example as an exploratory study to pilot-test data on how service learning impacts student outcomes. The paper will (1) provide an overview of the literature on service learning, (2) explain a model for incorporating service learning into graduate social work courses, (3) identify specific student issues in implementation, and (4) demonstrate how service learning can enhance the outcomes for educational policy and accreditation standards competencies in an advanced organization and community practice course. (Contains 3 tables.)
