Students are encouraged to build up a sense of community service as well as to increase awareness of social issues. Through the services, students can get in touch with socially underprivileged groups and enhance personal growth through reflection on the experience. The service-learning programmes (SLP) emphasize on students' participation and reflection throughout the service experience. Students are also encouraged to cultivate their abilities for critical thinking and value judgment and to gain valuable experience in building good partnerships with members through cooperation.
What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address community needs together with structured opportunities for reflection designed to achieve desired learning outcomes (Jacoby, 1996).
In Chung Chi College, we expect students to be able to achieve the following learning outcomes by the end of the course:
• apply their (discipline) knowledge and generic skills to address community needs;
• acquire skills to work efficiently and effectively with others;
• evaluate one’s own strengths and limitations, and identify areas that need further development for personal growth;
• develop a sense of citizenship and community service including the cultivation of social responsibility, civic engagement, attention and action for the needy;
• develop information literacy and foundations for lifelong learning;
• demonstrate active and rational collaboration in group discussion; and
• demonstrate personal and social soft skills, and the ability to work in inter-disciplinary teams.
