Reflection: The Hyphen Between Service & Learning “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Oliver Wendall Holmes Lynn E. Pelco, Ph.D. Associate Vice Provost for Community Engagement Service-Learning Mini-Institute January 2013 Richmond, Virginia

Why is reflection important? Research studies link high-quality reflection with improved academic and interpersonal outcomes. For example… Billig, Root, and Jesse (2005) found that service-learning approaches that featured cognitively challenging activities and reflection were associated with students being more likely to value school, feel more efficacious, engage in school and enjoy subject matters, and acquire more civic knowledge and more positive civic dispositions. Eyler and Giles (1999) showed that reflection helped students gain a deeper understanding of what they learned and helped them to apply learning to real-life situations and develop increased problem-solving skills. They also demonstrated that reflection was a good predictor of openness to new ideas, the ability to see issues in a new way, and the ability to analyze issues systemically. Eyler, Giles, and Schmiede (1996) demonstrated that students engaged in critical reflection were more likely than their peers to apply what they learned to understanding and solving social problems. 2. There is a long theoretical history that connects reflection and learning

Experience, Reflection and Learning Young John Experience, Reflection and Learning John Dewey was a prominent philosopher who emphasized the important links between experience, reflection and learning ♦ Learning is a continuous and cumulative process. Prior learning “becomes the instrument of understanding and dealing effectively with the situations that follow”.(1938, p.44) ♦ Reflection is an active and intentional action in which we examine prior beliefs and assumptions and their implications. “The function of reflective thought is, therefore, to transform a situation in which there is experienced obscurity, doubt, conflict, disturbance of some sort into a situation that is clear, coherent, settled, harmonious”.(1933, p.100) ♦ Reflective thinking takes time and requires us to engage in several distinct phases. Dewey (1933, pp.106-115) outlines these phases as— ◊ Perplexity (responding to ideas that appear when there is a problem) ◊ Elaboration (referring to past experiences that are similar) ◊ Hypotheses (developing several potential hypotheses) ◊ Comparing hypotheses (finding some coherence within these hypotheses) ◊ Taking action (experiencing mastery, satisfaction, enjoyment in acting on these hypotheses) John Dewey (1859-1952) Columbia University Old John

Engage in experience Engage in experience and test learning and/or implement goals EXAMINE per learning goals/objectives in each category (i.e., So What?)

Writing Doing Telling Academic Enhancement Civic Learning Personal Remember that reflection can take many forms and address different learning objectives Writing Doing Telling Academic Enhancement Students create an Internet blog focusing on the links between the academic concepts they are learning in the classroom and how these ideas are being applied in the service project. Students write and perform a play for people in the community (e.g., high school students, community residents) about an issue they have learned about in their service-learning class. Students participate in class discussions with each other about how disciplinary theories and principles apply to their service project and how these both inform career path choices. Civic Learning Students write and submit Op-Ed pieces to local newspapers about the social issue they are addressing through their service project. Students create a website or wiki that provides information for the general public related to the service project / social issue addressed in the class. Students join with staff from a local nonprofit to develop and give a presentation to the city council about a critical need in the community. Personal Growth Students keep individual journals that include entries about the skills, talents, beliefs, and attitudes they are discovering in themselves as a result of participating in the service project. Each student creates a one- minute video describing what they learned about themselves as a result of participating in the service project (“I learned that I am good at….”). Students make an oral presentation to the university president describing what they’ve learned from their service project and requesting funding for expanding the project during the next academic year.
