Session III: International Service Learning (ISL)

Service Learning Definitions  “Definitions vary considerably… - Skinner and Chapman (1999)  More than 147 definitions - Kendall (1990) Some grouped in SL philosophy SL pedagogy of education  Some purely nominal

Theoretical framework: EL SL Definitions 1.It is an experience or that it is experiential [theory] with the aim of 2.a social justice goal; 3.can be educative if it can be 4.understood [reflection] while trying to establish that social balance. Dewey’s philosophy establishes certain characteristics for SL:

ISL Definition International service learning takes place when students’ academic learning occurs in a foreign context reflecting around a carefully organized experience that aims to meet a specific community need or needs. The key component is that learning occurs through reflecting on the whole course experience that might involve comparisons, problems, confrontations, critical analysis, interactions, etc. In this context experiential learning is action oriented in that it involves interaction with the host community, requires reflecting upon different contexts and community’s dynamics deriving meaningful learning from the entire experience. - Pagano, 2005

Goals of ISL  To enhance the academic content of the course through interaction with the host community  To develop intercultural Knowledge  To learn to be intercultural proficient  To learn specific issues in the host culture  To develop critical thinking skills through reflection pedagogy  To fully interact with the host community  To develop group goals that build community  To aim to reach the “reciprocity” concept  Other

Types of ISL Programs  Faculty Led  Partnership Direct Enrollment Hybrid  Travel Embedded

ISL Models: Academics Discipline Based Problem Based or Seminar Capstone Course SL Internship? SL Research?

Key Elements of ISL Host Community/ Host Country Curriculum Service Learning Center International Programs/ Study Abroad Office Provider Student Faculty

ISL Element’s Analyses Curriculum Course Learning Goals Knowledge of subject matter Problem Solving Skills Intercultural Knowledge Intercultural Proficiency ReciprocityGroup goals Pedagogy Teaching Materials Host community context

Main Element: Worksite/Volunteer  Worksite needs to be tied into every part of the curriculum

Refraction  Refraction: The turning or bending of any wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium into another of different optical density.  De-fantasize fate!

ISL and II Refraction Examples

ISL: Environmental Issues After: “I drew the river with different colors. I drew the Tapajos river with brown to show its true color and then the Amazon in blue. The Tapajos River is a tributary of the Amazon. I mixed both colors where they get together. People here depend heavily on the river for anything they do. I never knew parts of the river are so polluted and it is creating so many problems for so many communities. We need to take this into consideration and start prosecuting the responsible for so much pollution. It does not seem that much is done about that…”
