• In Event: RTD- Student Outcomes and Achievement (v)

Short Description

Reflections play an essential role in service-learning to help students process their experiences in service-learning. Researchers have identified the characteristics of effective student reflections. This multiple case study explores how instructors in four disciplines designed and facilitated student reflections in service-learning. The results show that instructors employ three common strategies in reflection activity design. The facilitation strategies varied depending on the nature of the project and the characteristics of the students.
