Experiential LearningThrough ServicePart Two of a Two-Part Series

In the second installment o the series, two experienced JCU aculty reect on

the power and value o embedding service learning into courses they regularly

teach.

Sheila McGinn, ProfessorDepartment of Religious Studies

Why do I include service in my undergraduate courses? At my previousposition in Chicago, all my students were employed in service proessions and

brought those experiences into the classroom, with the insights and questions

that such frst-hand experience provokes. Not so with the traditional-age

student body at Carroll. So, I began using service as an experiential-learning

strategy to prod students into raising similar questions as had enriched

previous class discussions: I developed a social-justice praxis where students

reected on their experiences in light o the Biblical texts and vice-versa.

At frst, I let the basic course unchanged and made the praxis an alternative

WELCOMEIn our last issue, we highlighted the roleo service in aculty lie by profling twoaculty members who have led serviceimmersion trips. We continue that seriesin this issue with a ocus on servicelearning and the ways in which it inormsteaching and learning. Sheila McGinn

and Sheri Young, veteran instructorswith a deep and abiding commitment toservice learning, share their perspectiveson why and how this kind o experientiallearning resonates with their studentsand or them.

Numerous other aculty commitmentsand accomplishments are worthy oacknowledgement and celebration inour fnal issue o this academic year,including 2010-2011 Grauel FacultyFellowships on page 8. Other ellowshiprecipients are included in this issue as

well. Please congratulate these colleagueson their awards.

In the spirit o celebration, Beth Martin,interim dean o the College o Arts andSciences, and Karen Schuele, dean othe Boler School o Business, gatheredaculty in February to showcase manyaculty accomplishments. We share someo their statistics on page 7.

to the major research project. The praxis required a weekly journal and a group class presentation, but this fnal

presentation was the only discussion involving the entire class. I navely expected students to integrate their service with

the other course material, volunteering pertinent experiences in regular class discussions or raising questions prompted by

their service placements and research. Such transerence did not happen spontaneously. I had to devise another plan.

Meanwhile, Tom Schubeck and I were developing a 4-credit theological praxis course that would involve weekly seminarmeetings and an ongoing service internship. Registration rolled around and one student signed up. We decided to go

ahead with it anyway, on an independent-study basis, and it proved a wonderul experience or all three o us. Experiences

at the internship site prompted difcult and insightul questions relating to the readings, and the course material spurred a

systemic analysis o the social-justice problem. Eureka! Now how could I provoke this integration in my other courses?

Gradually I refned the praxis. I integrated ormal research on the social-justice problem and service population, developed

more integrative journal prompts, and established more ocused parameters or what placements were suitable or the

course. I made the journal a Blackboard discussion, required praxis olks to interact there, and oered their classmates

extra credit to do likewise. Few did. The conversation remained sequestered rom the classroom experience.

This year I decided to risk making the service praxis the deault course project (individuals may propose a substitute),

and ocused placements on hunger and homelessness. So ar a third o the class, individually, has volunteered how grateul

they are or this experience. One business student said it has changed his whole perspective on lie. Class discussionsare putting the social-justice issue and service experiences in conversation with the Biblical texts. When I asked my New

Testament students why this particular ocus or the placements, the light bulbs went on: Jesus ed the hungry, and he

became homeless. Eureka!

Sheri Young, Assistant Professor, Department of PsychologyEach semester, I try to explain to my Child Development students that Experiential Learning is

important or primarily three reasons. First, it is at the heart o who we are as a Jesuit institution. Even

in the most difcult o economic circumstances university campuses have greater access to resources

than many o the individuals with whom we stand in solidarity, the most valuable being human

resources. The children that my students tutor have the ability to succeed. Unortunately, they are in

schools whose dedicated aculty and administrators are dealing with limited budgets that are unableto sustain the cost o hiring needed tutors or other academic support sta. The idea that we would be

unwilling to employ our considerable human resources or the beneft o those children is unconscionable.

Second, our mission states, the university community is enriched by scholarship representing the pluralistic society in

which we live. Experiential Learning is the not the same as Community Service. Experiential Learning is scholarship.

When used eectively, Experiential Learning requires civic engagement as well as sound reection and evaluation. What,

or example, does developmental research tell us about Social Cognition in childhood? What does Social Cognition look

like in the real world? What works and doesnt work when applying Operant Conditioning principles in elementary

classrooms compared to middle school classrooms? I you can link the practical to the academic, the concepts and theories

youve learned are more salient. They can be more skillully applied in the settings in which you expect to use them.

Finally and related to comment above, Experiential Learning is important because it also allows or sel-reection and

sel-evaluation. At the end o each semester, I hear rom students who are excited about the prospect o working in a feld

ocusing on children and amilies. Through Experiential Learning, they were able to process the environment rom the

perspective o the children theyd served, but whose experiences were previously unknown to them. They now have a

clearer sense o what sort o contribution o their time and talents they would like to make to society as a whole, and to

children and amilies, in particular. Reection and evaluation as part o the scholarship o Experiential Learning can help

us reduce our misconceptions about those with whom we have the least amiliarity but who enhance the richness o our

pluralistic society. Experiential Learning is mission, scholarship, personal development, proessional development, and

much more.
