Goals
1. Participants will learn about how undergraduates at one institution perceive service learning experiences they engage in throughout their teacher preparation program.
2. Participants will be able to think more critically about service learning experiences that are provided to undergraduate students.
3. Participants will better be able to recognize how they could use service learning as a vehicle to establish mutually beneficial partnerships.
4. Strategies for implementing a STEAM family night at local schools will be shared.
Evidence
A total of 159 participants from one university completed a survey that asked them about their definition of service learning and their feelings about it. The survey consisted of both likert-scale items and open-ended questions. Open ended questions were analyzed based on emerging themes. The results of the survey will be shared. This research was conducted by the project PI and a Noyce scholar. One case of a service learning experience lead by Noyce scholars, Family STEAM nights, will be shared.
Proposal
Research was conducted into how undergraduate students at one institution perceive the service learning experiences they engage in throughout their teacher preparation program. A total of 159 participants from one university completed a survey that asked them about their definition of service learning and their feelings about their service learning experience. The survey consisted of both likert-scale items and open-ended questions. The results of the survey will be shared. This research was conducted by a Noyce project PI and a Noyce scholar. In addition to sharing the results of the survey, the case of one service learning experience lead by Noyce scholars, Family STEAM nights, will also be shared. Since 1989 the College of Education at Kansas State University has entered into projects with Kansas school districts to establish mutually beneficial partnerships. Service learning projects with these districts often are vehicles for establishing and building these partnerships. Research implications and recommendations will be shared.
