This high-impact practice allows students to achieve course learning objectives while contributing to their community's needs. A review from 2007 revealed a lack of research focused on the topic in the prior decade, despite the interest that was shown by the American Chemical Society in 2000. Purpose: This review of recent case studies on the topic provides future researchers and practitioners with an understanding of the current state of service-learning in undergraduate chemistry courses. Methodology/Approach: To create a representative sample of recent literature for a non-exhaustive scoping review, only peer-reviewed articles addressing service-learning in undergraduate chemistry, published in reliable journals in the last two decades were included. These studies were analyzed in terms of course design, research design, and research quality. Findings/Conclusions: While the scoping review identified papers with notable contributions to establishing service-learning in undergraduate general chemistry, the review also identified several key gaps in the literature, including small sample size, reliance on subjective and indirect measures, and qualitative measures that exclude correlation analysis. Implications: Recommendations for future work for both practitioners and researchers are provided.","PeriodicalId":46775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experiential Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80482854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Faculty Motivation in Service-Learning Based on Expectancy x Value Theory","authors":"Alexa Darby, Lauren Willingham","doi":"10.1177/10538259211058292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10538259211058292","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Research has established that service-learning is a high-impact practice with significant consequences for student learning. Research in this area can provide greater understanding and recognition of the value faculty bring to the service-learning experience. Purpose: Examining faculty members’ memorable experiences in service-learning pedagogy through the Expectancy x Value theory of motivation will help colleges and universities more effectively support and retain faculty who teach service-learning courses. Methodology/Approach: Twenty-two faculty from a medium-sized liberal arts institution each participated in a 24-min interview and described memorable service-learning experiences with students. Inductive analysis and the Expectancy x Value theory of motivation were used to analyze the data. Findings/Conclusions: The study found that faculty members highlighted themes of faculty fostering student and community connections, valuing the service-learning work, and assisting students in learning from their discomfort during service-learning experiences. Faculty's expectations of success centered on their own self-efficacy and view of ability. Faculty valued the relationships that were established, benefits that were gained, and risks that were taken. Implications: Through the Expectancy x Value theory, this research provides a foundation for understanding what motivates faculty to continue teaching service-learning courses, which can help institutions more effectively support faculty members.","PeriodicalId":46775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experiential Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79731079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The above culminates in a call for advocacy. Perspectives introduced to document the complex relationship between natural landscapes and health are woven together from diverse disciplines and further juxtaposed with sidebars from guest contributors highlighting this relationship across varied geographical locations. This is a strength of this book as it extends knowledge and ways of relating to natural landscapes beyond Western conceptualiza-tions. This translates to a well-rounded approach to summarizing, exploring, and con-textualizing relationships with natural landscapes and various cultural underpinnings that may shape that dynamic. A prominent nod to the climate crisis renders the contents of this book all the more timely. As such, the aim of this work is not only to expand the reader ’ s familiarity with the topic, but to facilitate a dialogue amongst stakeholders regarding the future of our relationship with our environment as it pertains to health, and ultimately, our planet.","PeriodicalId":46775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experiential Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73656094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seaman","doi":"10.1177/10538259221081734","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10538259221081734","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to JEE issue 45(1). This issue includes a number of diverse articles exploring key topics concerning experiential education in a range of disciplinary contexts. Before I introduce the articles, I want to draw readers’ attention to the Call for Editors for the Journal of Experiential Education, on the pages immediately following this letter. My term expires in 2022, and the Journal’s parent association, the Association for Experiential Education, is seeking to recruit an editor or editorial team to lead the JEE into its next phase. It’s an especially exciting moment for the journal, as our Scopus CiteScore places the journal in the top 20%, and we are moving steadily toward attaining an impact factor. I will have more to say before I depart, but I encourage interested parties to apply, or to contact me with questions. The first article, Transformative Design Pedagogy: Teaching Biophilic Design through Experiential Learning by Genell Wells Ebbini, examines students’ understanding of interior design principles founded on the theory of biophilia. Readers will appreciate the graphical evidence Ebbini offers in support of the study’s main findings, which provides an excellent example of how to methodically approach the study of experiential learning in a disciplinary context. In another example of experiential praxis, Transforming Pre-Service Teacher Perceptions of Immigrant Communities Through Digital Storytelling by Lan Kolano and Anna Sanczyk documents a digital storytelling project wherein preservice teachers used digital storytelling to work with immigrant children on their English language skills. Their multimodal approach provides yet another exciting extension of core experiential learning principles into new, disciplinary contexts. Karen Anderson, Margaret Pierce, and Kathleen McNamara present the rare longterm follow up study, with their article, NUMB3Rs Revisited: Long-Term Impacts of Reimagining Service Learning. Their study provides an outstanding contribution to knowledge of service learning’s effects on early career teachers following their participation during preservice training. The fourth article, Undergraduates’ Motivation Following a Zoo Experience: Status Matters but Structure Does not, by Ashley Heim and Emily Holt, examines biology students’ encounter with a zoo experience using the framework of free-choice learning. The framework of free-choice learning is common in informal STEM contexts, but less so in experiential education; hopefully this study changes that condition, since the two are so closely related. Finally, Paul Shirilla, Craig Solid, and Suzanne Graham present a methodological argument about the benefits of longitudinal designs using multilevel modeling, compared to traditional statistical designs.

Foxlight Pictures (2016) then connects those legal precedents with current research in best practices. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine legal implications on for-credit internship programs and create recommendations based on United States law. Methodology/Approach: This work uses peer-reviewed research to support recommendation in internship development, implementation, and evaluation. Findings/Conclusions: Recommendations for programmatic implementation are made to avoid potential litigation against higher education institutions, faculty, staff, students, and internship placement organizations.

Purpose: The authors aim to verify whether extreme eService-Learning can be assessed within Ma and Lo's holistic outcome framework and how to ensure its effectiveness in cultivating students roundly. Methodology/Approach: Based on a holistic outcome framework produced under traditional semesters, this study examines six Service-Learning courses. Adopting a mixed-method approach, self-reported students questionnaires (N = 497) were analyzed by paired-sample t-test and ANCOVA to compare students’ Service-Learning outcomes in the traditional and pandemic periods, from which two effective courses were identified. A case study was conducted to conceptualize the good practices in extreme eService-Learning. Findings/Conclusions: Findings reveal extreme eService-Learning can enhance students’ subject-related knowledge, soft skills, and civic orientation. To ensure its effectiveness in holistic education, balance between the tangibility and ambiguity in service and the harmony of individualized and collaborative learning should be planned in the curriculum and cautiously implemented. Implications: A holistic Service-Learning outcome framework is verified to be applicable in an entirely online environment. The summarized principles provide reference to practicing extreme eService-Learning under current social distancing restrictions and worth further normalizing in the post-COVID era.","PeriodicalId":46775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experiential Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75452942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: To showcase how stakeholders’ theory can be deployed to holistically evaluate the quality of experiential learning opportunities and the value they offer to all stakeholders. Methodology/Approach: Based on a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, data was solicited from 14 Program Organizers, 107 Participating Students, and 107 Onsite Mentors. Findings/Conclusions: The Program Organizers strongly agreed (95.5%) that the co-curricular program is efficacious. A majority of Participating Students rated the overall quality-of-experience as excellent (81.6%), and most Onsite Mentors rated students’ attendance as excellent (88.7%). There was a dependency between Participating Students’ attendance and extent to which they were engaged in teamwork. The qualitative analysis generated the “Global Citizenship” conceptual framework. Implications: Stakeholders’ theory can be leveraged to broaden the analytic scope of experiential learning, encapsulating the development that occurs at the community level due to individuals’ engagement. This conceptual framework can be utilized by other institutions to guide the development of similar co-curricular programs.","PeriodicalId":46775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experiential Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87488218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
