Exploring Students' Perceptions of Service-Learning Experiences in an Undergraduate Web Design Course
Lee, Sang Joon; Wilder, Charlie; Yu, Chien
Teaching in Higher Education, v23 n2 p212-226 2018
Service-learning is an experiential learning experience where students learn and develop through active participation in community service to meet the needs of a community. This study explored student learning experiences in a service-learning group project and their perceptions of service-learning in an undergraduate web design course. The data showed that the service-learning project helped students learn the course material, feel more connected to the surrounding community, and improve their communication and problem-solving skills for their careers. The participants appreciated the opportunity to work with the service-learning partner and will be likely to look for more opportunities to get involved in the community. Time constraints, group work, working with real clients, and technical limitations were reported as major challenges in the group project.
