Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted instructors of many community-engaged learning (CEL) courses to utilize virtual CEL as a replacement for in-person CEL. Few assessments indicate whether in-person CEL student learning outcomes (SLOs) can be achieved through virtual CEL. Purpose: This study assesses whether an in-person CEL cohort and a virtual CEL cohort achieved the SLOs for a CEL course. Methodology/Approach: The sample for the study is students in the 2019 in-person CEL cohort (n = 13) and the 2020 virtual CEL cohort (n = 13) of a CEL course. Students’ reflective writing is analyzed using focused coding to evaluate the extent to which students achieved the SLOs. Findings/Conclusions: Findings indicate that both cohorts achieved the SLO about career exploration. The virtual CEL cohort did not as thoroughly achieve SLOs on cultural differences, community leadership, and working with others for local impact. The groups utilized reflective practices differently. In this case, virtual CEL was less effective than in-person CEL. Implications: Virtual CEL is not an exact substitute for in-person CEL. Effectiveness in achieving civic-oriented SLOs is likely to improve through further modification of pedagogical approaches and supplemental content and interactions.
虚拟和面对面社区参与学习:学生的学习实际上是一样的吗?
背景:COVID-19大流行促使许多社区参与学习(CEL)课程的教师利用虚拟CEL代替面对面的CEL。很少有评估表明面对面的CEL学生学习成果(slo)是否可以通过虚拟CEL来实现。目的:本研究评估面对面的CEL队列和虚拟的CEL队列是否达到了CEL课程的slo。方法/方法:本研究的样本是CEL课程2019年面对面CEL队列(n = 13)和2020年虚拟CEL队列(n = 13)的学生。学生的反思性写作使用集中编码来评估学生达到slo的程度。研究结果/结论:研究结果表明,两组在职业探索方面均达到了SLO。虚拟的CEL队列在文化差异、社区领导和与他人合作以产生当地影响方面没有完全实现slo。这些小组使用反思练习的方式不同。在这种情况下,虚拟CEL不如面对面CEL有效。含义:虚拟CEL并不能完全替代面对面的CEL。通过进一步修改教学方法和补充内容和相互作用,可能会提高实现面向公民的特别行动目标的效率。
