A Comparative Case Study Of Service-Learning In Teacher Education: Rethinking Benefits And Challenges Of Partners And Placements, Margaret-Mary Sulentic Dowell, Jaqueline Bach

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

In this comparative case study, two teacher educators turned the research lens on their own experiences with service-learning. Positing that teacher education programming can explicitly address pre-service teachers’ assumptions through course-embedded academic service-learning activities, particularly reflection, the advantages and difficulties of various placements and partners were examined. Using a case study design allowed the researchers to share their experiences locating suitable placements and forging sustainable partnerships for their courses. Findings include the importance of considering the utility of non-traditional placements and settings, the value of cultivating long-term partners, and the significance of frequent and ongoing reflection. The authors conclude that …

Cellphone Diaries: Mobile Technology And Self-Authored Digital Videos In Asset Mapping, Kofi Boone

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

The Cellphone diaries project engaged African-American residents of historic South Park East Raleigh, North Carolina in the use of “smartphones” to document places that had meaning for them in Chavis Park. Chavis Park is the green heart of their community, and is undergoing rapid change. The project was a component of an effort by NC State University investigators to support a neighborhood revitalization framework organized around a community vision plan. Cellphone diaries attempted to 1) train residents in the use of “smartphone” digital videos for individual on-site asset mapping, and 2) compare the results of individual on-site “smartphone” based approaches …

Responding To The Need For Language Support: Partnership In Primary, Secondary And Tertiary Education, Gail A. Mceachron, Joy Martin

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

Abstract

This study explored how school, university, and community partners provided language support to K-12 students whose first language was something other than English. Six English as a second language (ESL) supervisors representing six Virginia school divisions were asked to describe school-university language partnerships. Research questions were: According to ESL supervisors, how do PK-12 public school divisions and institutions of higher education collaborate on behalf of students whose first language is not English? What do ESL supervisors perceive as ways in which current partnerships could be improved and expanded? Tape-recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed along with information available through …

Transformed Through Relationship: Faculty And Community Partners Give Voice To The Power Of Partnerships, Seanna M. Kerrigan, Vicki L. Reitenauer

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

Since the 1990s hundreds of institutions of higher education have engaged in processes to develop community-university partnerships in order to develop community-based learning program that enhance student learning and strengthen our communities. These partnerships are built upon ideals of reciprocity and synergy yet they have frequently lacked rich qualitative assessment to describe the nature of these relationships, the roles played in these relationships, and the impact that these partnerships have on students, faculty, and the community partners. This study engaged 10 faculty and their corresponding community partners to document the practices of these partnerships and the impact that they had …

United By Language, Literacy And Learning: Creating Spaces In Schools To Support Refugee Literacy, Loshini Naidoo Dr

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

This paper discusses the Refugee Action Support program, which is a program of literacy support for newly arrived refugee high school students in Australia. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that while some refugee students do achieve success in schools, many refugee students arriving in Australia under the humanitarian program fail to attain a level of education that will give them access to and allow them to participate in tertiary education. Severe disruptions to education are a consistent feature for these students making current levels of support inadequate to meet the needs of refugee background students who …

Equity In International Experiential Learning: Assessing Benefits To Students And Host Communities, Erika D. Nelson, Thomas Klak

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement

This research uses participant observation and other qualitative methods to evaluate whether faculty-led short-term study abroad programs can successfully carry out responsible ‘fair trade’, and thereby substantially benefit not only students but also the host communities. The research draws insights by comparing two experiential learning courses taught in South Africa and Dominica. Results suggest that students benefit in various transformative ways in both courses, by applying sustainability and development studies concepts to real-life service and hands-on learning in cross-cultural situations. The Dominica course yields more host community benefits, however, because of the instructors’ long-term commitments to reciprocal partnerships and equitable …
