Abstract

Background: Service-learning is a high-impact teaching technique that aligns with feminist pedagogy to engage students in influencing social change. Nonetheless, barriers exist to implementing direct service-learning, particularly from a trauma-informed lens as volunteer work could be triggering for students who experienced victimization first-hand. Purpose: This article examines a research-based service-learning project that utilized feminist and trauma-informed pedagogy. Methodology/Approach: Students participated in a student-led survey of their college campus which assessed student experiences of victimization, perceptions of safety, and university service availability. This study analyzed student reflections’ on the research-based service-learning project. Findings/Conclusions: A thematic analysis of students’ reflection responses to the service-learning project revealed four major themes: Enjoyment and Ease in the Process, Research Skills for Advocacy, Validation of Students’ Concerns, and Need for Social Change. Implications: The findings support research-based service-learning projects as an alternative to direct volunteer work. Research-based service-learning still provides students with high-impact learning that can increase students’ collaboration, skills, empowerment, and engagement.
“真正的学生帮助他人”:学生对性别与受害课程研究性服务学习项目的思考
背景:服务学习是一种高影响力的教学技术,与女权主义教育学相一致,使学生参与影响社会变革。尽管如此,实施直接的服务学习存在障碍,特别是从创伤信息的角度来看,志愿者工作可能会触发那些亲身经历过受害者的学生。目的:本文探讨了一个基于研究的服务学习项目,该项目利用了女权主义和创伤知情教学法。方法/方法:学生们参加了一项以学生为主导的大学校园调查,评估了学生的受害经历、对安全的看法和大学服务的可用性。本研究分析学生对研究性服务学习计划的思考。研究结果/结论:对学生对服务学习计划的反思反应进行专题分析,发现四个主要主题:过程中的享受和轻松、倡导的研究技能、学生关注的验证和社会变革的需要。启示:研究结果支持以研究为基础的服务学习项目作为直接志愿工作的替代方案。基于研究的服务学习仍然为学生提供高影响力的学习,可以提高学生的协作、技能、授权和参与度。
