LESSON 18

SERVICE LEARNING

Reporters:
Arellano, Arianne Maree V.
Angcos, Rosemarie B.
OBJECTIVES
• Discuss Service Learning as an instructional
strategy
• Explain how Service Learning is used in
elementary social studies instruction
• Develop a lesson plan that uses Service
Learning in elementary social studies
THINK
According to the National Service Learning
Clearinghouse (n.d.), Service Learning is a
learning and teaching strategy that integrates
meaningful community service with instruction
and reflection to enrich the learning experience,
teach civic responsibility, and strengthen
communities.
Service Learning targets the acquisition of
specific knowledge, skills, and values. In essence,
Service Learning ensures that students learn the
social studies content through active participation
in community service.
There are three types of Service Learning:

1. Direct Service Learning.


This requires students to come in direct contact with
conducting the community or people in need.

2. Indirect Service Learning.


This entails students to channel resources for a certain
project without directly interacting with the people they
intend to help.

3. Advocacy Activities.
These require students to engage in work on behalf of a
specific cause.
STEPS
According to Geiger (n.d.) and Wade (2000), there are
four basic steps in implementing Service Learning:

1. Preparation.
This involves providing students with the necessary
skills and information for the project.

2. Action or Service.
After orienting students and seeking their
commitment, the project is commenced and actualized.
3. Evaluation and Reflection.
This refers to the act of thinking critically about their
experience in the project. The teacher may ask students to
relate the social studies content to their experience and
probe for deeper levels of understanding.

4. Celebration.
As a culminating activity, this may be done to extend
gratitude to the participants and to share their experience
with parents, administrators, and other teachers and
students.
ADVANTAGES

If done effectively, Service Learning poses many benefits.


First, it helps break down barrier between the classroom
and real life. Students are given opportunities to apply
social studies concepts and skills in the real world setting.
It also makes students the feel empowered.
TIPS
1. Integrate with other learning areas.
Since Service Learning entails a significant amount of
time and effort for preparation, it will be helpful for the
teacher and the students to accomplish the project not just in
social studies but also in other subjects.

2. If possible, let students brainstorm their chosen


community activity.
It will be more motivating for them to spearhead a
project that is aligned with their interest and philosophy. The
teacher can then act as a consultant or guide to ensure the
success of the project.
