Feedback
Students engaged in service-learning provide community service in response to community-identified concerns and learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between their service and their academic coursework, and their roles as citizens.
The learning environment becomes very broad when it is no longer bound by the classroom. Build partnerships with community agencies that match the course goals and objectives is very important.
It is recommended that faculty teach only one service course at a time. Clear and open communication can help remedy the involvement of community partners.
It can cue the instructor into what the students learned and their key take-aways.
Students are presented with a written problem in small groups, faculty becomes the facilitator of learning, there is an emphasis on self-directed learning and a written problem is the stimulus for learning
Fun & enjoyment of learning has been frequently associated with outcomes of PBL
Cost related to hiring faculty as well as cost for space requirements for small-group rooms, without support program leaders find it difficult to engage successfully in curriculum reform & without long-term data the debate comparing PBL to traditional methods continues
These reasons make systemic and ongoing program evaluation vital to all health-related disciplines and levels of requirement
Evaluative thinking is about understanding - using a systematic process of collecting and analyzing data instead of a set of disorganized, random opinions - and telling the story about your strategy, initiative, or program.
