Affective Domain Cognitive Domain Student conceptions and understanding of content. Addressed through a variety of pedagogical interventions. Affective Domain The feelings, emotions, and general moods a learner brings to a task or that are generated in response to a task1. Educational psychology research reveals that student adoption of cognitive strategies may be influenced by affective factors such as motivation, attitudes, feelings and emotions. Students leaving STEM fields often cite affective factors such as loss of motivation or interest in topic or development of interest in another field2. 1 Ormond, J., 2006, Essentials of Educational Psychology; 2 Seymour & Hewitt, 1997, Talking about leaving: Why undergraduates leave the sciences.

Why should a student care about this stuff? Watch the 10-minute You-Tube video clip at the link below. The author, Daniel Pink, is describing how different aspects of the work environment can enhance motivation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc&feature=player_embedded

Why should a student care about this stuff? In your teams, suggest ways in which an instructor could introduce autonomy mastery purpose to enhance aspects of student learning when teaching your module. Autonomy Choose how to answer something (creative representation). Mastery Teaching a classmate something. Purpose Develop community projects.

Interest Triggered situational interest Emerging individual interest Short term, from tasks that are surprising, novel, emotional, personal. Opportunity for students to form a connection to content. Questions provided by instructor. Emerging individual interest Students have positive feelings, value topic, generate questions unprompted, or seek out resources independent of class. Instructors/peers model behavior, communicate well, demonstrate enthusiasm. Maintained situational interest Successful completion of meaningful tasks (and understanding of content). Positive feelings developed in a supportive learning environment. Lesson designed to motivate students to ask “curiosity” questions and may present students with choice of tasks. Well-developed individual interest Students internally driven to reengage with material for which they have a personal interest. Student can sustain long-term creative tasks and generates successful self-regulated learning strategies. (Hidi, S., and Renninger, K. A., 2006, The four-phase model of interest development. Educational Psychologist, v. 41, no. 2, 111-127.)

Problem-Based Service-Learning: ENVR 319 Environmental Engagement in the Community Indirect service addresses community needs through research, organizing, and/or community action Problem-Based Service-Learning: students (or teams of students) relate to the community much as "consultants" working for a "client."

addresses immediate needs Direct service addresses immediate needs of community. Types of Service Projects Research and Advocacy student bring about change in social, political or environmental conditions that contribute to community needs Indirect service addresses community needs through research, organizing, and/or community action (Excerpted from Heffernan, Kerrissa.

Service-Learning Approaches "Pure" Service-Learning: Students in community to serve. Intellectual core is service to communities by students, volunteers, or engaged citizens. Typically multidisciplinary Discipline-Based Service-Learning: students are present in the community for the semester, regularly reflect on experiences, and use course content as basis for analysis and understanding. Service-Learning Approaches Capstone Courses: Designed for a given discipline and offered to students in their final year. Service Internships: Like traditional internships, experiences more intense, students work 10 to 20 hours a week in a community setting. Undergraduate Community-Based Action Research: community-based action research, independent study for students highly experienced in community work. Problem-Based Service-Learning: students (or teams of students) relate to the community much as "consultants" working for a "client." (Excerpted from Heffernan, Kerrissa.
