Alternative SET Questions for Service Learning Faculty

As many faculty know, the pedagogy of service learning is different than traditional teaching. The Service Learning Committee has established qualitative questions/statements for those using service learning as a teaching strategy to use in the ‘questions’ section of the SET.

It is important for faculty to use these questions in order for us to make a better attempt in measuring impact on students across service learning courses. Additionally, the questions will help capture the impact of service learning more accurately for evaluation purposes.

Questions/Statements to use:

1.  Please describe how your community site placement or service learning activity/project enhanced your understanding of course content.

 

2.  Please describe how service learning may have contributed to your professional and personal development.

 

3.  Please describe any concrete areas of improvement for this course.
