  2. What is service learning?

  3. Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. The core concept driving this educational strategy is that by combining service objectives and learning objectives, along with the intent to show measurable change in both the recipient and the provider of the service, the result is a radically-effective transformative method of teaching students.

  4. Example of Service-Learning: • If DHS students collect trash out of Kallang Basin, they are providing a service to the community as volunteers; a service that is highly valued and important. On the other hand, when DHS students collect trash from Kallang Basin, then analyze what they found and possible sources so they can share the results with residents of the neighborhood along with suggestions for reducing pollution, they are engaging in service-learning.

  5. Example of Service-Learning: Through service-learning, students are providing an important service to the community and, at the same time, learning about water quality and laboratory analysis, developing an understanding of pollution issues, learning to interpret science issues to the public, and practicing communications skills by speaking to residents.

  6. Example of Service-Learning: They may also reflect on their personal and career interests in science, the environment, public policy or other related areas. In these ways service-learning intentionally combines service with learning, a combination that is transforming both communities and students.

  7. Types of Service learning in DHS • Direct • Visit elderly homes • Indirect • Painting for elderly homes, Fund raising (need approval from HOD/PD, VP, P ) • Advocacy • Awareness of HIV infected children in Africa

Learning points need to be drawn from students.

  15. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ~Aesop • It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.~Ralph Waldo Emerson A pessimist, they say, sees a glass of water as being half empty; an optimist sees the same glass as half full. But a giving person sees a glass of water and starts looking for someone who might be thirsty. ~G. Donald Gale
