Deep-Learning Practices in the Hispanic-Serving and Minority-Serving Context
Archiopoli, Ashley M.; Murrray, Creshema R.
Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, v9 Jul 2019
This paper details a semester-long service-learning project implemented at a Hispanic-serving and minority-serving university. This case study serves as a guide for future service-learning projects to be implemented in various disciplines at similar institutions. Over two semesters, students enrolled in two different service-learning courses in the communication studies discipline worked collaboratively across courses to present a healthy-eating event to the university community. The authors (re)designed courses to provide students with a learning experience that emphasized core lessons from the discipline of communication, while simultaneously employing the tenets of service-learning. Through this learning process, students engaged in deep learning constituted in the student-led activities of researching, planning, executing, and evaluating the event. The paper concludes with a section about future applications that discusses how similar projects can be implemented at similar institutions and in other disciplines.
