New Reflection Journals on e-Pubs!

[Announcement from IARSLCE]


New Reflection Journals on e-Pubs!  And it’s FREE for faculty and students!
Now on Purdue’s ePubs are two new Service-Learning reflection journals available for download, and it’s free!  These academic tools were created to help students with Service-Learning and Academic Community Engagement assignments and projects.  One of the journals titled Service-Learning Reflection Journal, consisting of more than 100 pages, provides a guide for Service-Learning projects that may last from a few days to a few weeks.  One of the items it offers is a quantitative assessment for the beginning and the end of the Service-Learning project.  The journal has reflection assignments to help prepare for the Service-Learning project, as well as the conclusion of the project.

The second journal, the International Service-Learning Reflection Journal, is specifically created for international study abroad courses.  It provides pre-entry assignments and re-entry assignments to help with the reflective process.  The journal also has a quantitative assessment for the beginning and end of the project. Reflection in the classroom is an important teaching tool for critical thinking.  Students have the opportunity to enhance their learning experience by answering prompted questions that stimulate thoughts and ideas.  For more information and to download these journals, go to http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284315022 for the International Service-Learning Reflection journal or http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284315021 for the Service-Learning Reflection Journal.
