Abstract

Abstract:Experiential philanthropy is an innovative service-learning pedagogy that allows students to study social problems and nonprofit organizations and then make decisions about investing funds into nonprofits working to address these problems. Although prior research has shown that instructors’ use of experiential philanthropy is positively associated with a number of student learning outcomes, few studies have employed in-depth qualitative methods to assess the effectiveness of experiential philanthropy—especially from the perspective of students. Therefore, in this study, we utilize computer-assisted technologies to mine data from students (n = 973) concerning their perceptions about participating in an experiential philanthropy course. Overall, our results show that similar to the results of prior research, students do believe that experiential philanthropy enhances their learning as well as their willingness to contribute to their community. However, for some students, engaging in experiential philanthropy is less likely to enhance their desire to contribute monetarily to nonprofit organizations and more likely to enhance their desire to contribute in the form of voluntary action.
慈善可以被学习:体验式慈善课程学生体验的定性研究
摘要:体验式慈善是一种创新的服务学习教学法,它允许学生研究社会问题和非营利组织,然后决定将资金投入到致力于解决这些问题的非营利组织中。虽然先前的研究表明,教师使用体验式慈善与许多学生的学习成果呈正相关,但很少有研究采用深入的定性方法来评估体验式慈善的有效性,特别是从学生的角度。因此,在本研究中,我们利用计算机辅助技术从学生(n = 973)中挖掘有关他们参与体验式慈善课程的看法的数据。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,与之前的研究结果相似,学生确实认为体验式慈善活动提高了他们的学习能力,也提高了他们为社区做出贡献的意愿。然而,对于一些学生来说,参与体验式慈善活动不太可能增强他们为非营利组织捐款的愿望,而更有可能增强他们以自愿行动形式捐款的愿望。
