Connections: Building Partnerships With Museums To Promote Intergenerational Service Learning And Alzheimer’S Care, Catherine Wilkins
Connections: Building Partnerships With Museums To Promote Intergenerational Service Learning And Alzheimer’S Care, Catherine Wilkins
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This article reflects upon the development of Connections, a service-learning collaboration between a Research I university and an urban art museum that trains students to work with patient groups from the community using Visual Thinking Strategies. This method of art exploration helps people with Alzheimer’s disease express memories and relieve anxiety. In describing the collaboration, instructional design, and ongoing research, this reflection seeks to encourage educators to partner with museums for intergenerational service-learning experiences.
Using Games To Solve Real-World Civic Problems: Early Insights And Design Principles, Karen Schrier
Using Games To Solve Real-World Civic Problems: Early Insights And Design Principles, Karen Schrier
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Video games are starting to be used to support civic learning and engagement. Moreover, games are being used to crowdsource solutions to real-world problems; however, few of these games address civic problems and engage adolescents and young adults. In this paper, I explore designing and using games for real-world civic problem-solving, as well as for supporting civic engagement among young adults. Using a design analysis approach, I investigate six video games and propose 20 initial design elements for use in creating and implementing civic problem- solving games. These include principles such as: using authentic civic problems, data, and tools; enabling …

Millennial Generation Faculty: Why They Engage In Service Learning, James Morgan Lewing, Paul Eugene York
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to examine the experiences, motivations, and perceptions of millennial generation faculty members who utilize service learning. Eight faculty members were interviewed, and the three themes evident in the findings were: (a) the role of the undergraduate experience, (b) an alignment with intrinsic motivations, and (c) the perception of organizational fit.
Service Learning In Adapted Physical Education: Connecting The Classroom To The Community, Matthew R. Martin, Amy Gagnon
Service Learning In Adapted Physical Education: Connecting The Classroom To The Community, Matthew R. Martin, Amy Gagnon
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
The purpose of the qualitative study was to explore Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) undergraduate students’ perceptions about working with individuals with disabilities while performing Service Learning (SL) at two community-based sites. Using a grounded theory research design, data from field notes, supervisor evaluations, and focus groups were coded and analyzed to identify five themes of perceptions and level of competence: social emotional climate, prior preparation, delivery of instruction, career readiness, and developing leadership.
Social And Cognitive Outcomes Of Service Learning: Results From A Pre-Post And Control Group Comparison, Rebecca G. Ryan
Social And Cognitive Outcomes Of Service Learning: Results From A Pre-Post And Control Group Comparison, Rebecca G. Ryan
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Students in an undergraduate course opted to either complete a service-learning project or write article summary papers over the course of a semester. Analyses revealed a significant increase in aspects of empathy, social responsibility, and community and personal involvement in the service-learning group, but not in the control group. The findings are discussed in terms of the social and cognitive benefits of service learning and considerations for incorporating service learning into a gerontology-related course.
Equal Status: Shifting Scholarship Paradigms To Fully Include Community-Based Research Into Undergraduate Research Programs, Susan B. Harden, Kim Buch, Lynn Ahlgrim-Delzell
Equal Status: Shifting Scholarship Paradigms To Fully Include Community-Based Research Into Undergraduate Research Programs, Susan B. Harden, Kim Buch, Lynn Ahlgrim-Delzell
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Undergraduate research (UR) experiences continue to proliferate across all higher education settings. Yet community-based research (CBR) experiences account for a small percentage of UR opportunities. This paper describes the pilot study results of a summer program that is intentionally expanding the paradigm for UR at a public research university to include CBR as an equally valued form of scholarship. Results indicate that CBR opportunities expand participation by underrepresented students in UR. Dedicated program administration by CBR faculty and unique recruitment, design, and programs contributed to program success.
Film As Engaged Learning: A Study On Teaching Civics Through Spanish Culture, Kajsa C. Larson
Film As Engaged Learning: A Study On Teaching Civics Through Spanish Culture, Kajsa C. Larson
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
University professors use film as a medium to examine social issues, although little is known about the tangible effects that socially minded films have on viewers. This study examined how combining film studies with a philanthropy project was beneficial to students’ understanding of global social concerns. Survey data showed that with this teaching approach, students increased their awareness of local social needs and nonprofits and had a greater personal interest in community involvement and helping others.

It identifies the characteristics of high-quality CBPR, delves into two criticisms of these efforts, and provides ideas for addressing these criticisms.
Community‐Based Participatory Research On Urban Parks And Health Dispariɵes: Perspecɵves From An Urban Planning Researcher, Yingling Fan
Community‐Based Participatory Research On Urban Parks And Health Dispariɵes: Perspecɵves From An Urban Planning Researcher, Yingling Fan
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
As part of the University of Minnesota Community-engaged Scholars Program, I undertook a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) project evaluating the potential of urban parks to improve health outcomes in disadvantaged communities. This paper describes my CBPR rookie experiences and discusses challenges in the CBPR process. By reflecting on my missteps, I offer critical insights and recommendations. Urban Planning researchers interested in applying the CBPR approach are recommended to commit to the “muddling through” process, seek institutional support, engage both government agencies and community advocates, and acquire long-range and flexible funding.

Using Youth Participatory Action Research To Scale Up Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (Prep) In The Southern United States, Mariajose Jhamira Paton
Theses and Dissertations
The recently launched initiative, Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE), provides a targeted plan to end HIV in the United States (US) by 2030, and prioritizes key demographic groups and geographic areas that are disproportionately burdened by HIV. Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth, especially Black and Latiné youth (SGMBLY), are a key population for EHE as they have experienced the largest increase in new HIV rates in recent decades. States identified by EHE are disproportionately located in the Southern US, where increasing the uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV has been a challenge. Though proven effective, youth participatory action …

Using Social Media To Engage Toronto Communities For Resiliency And Stress Planning, Martha Ta
Using Social Media To Engage Toronto Communities For Resiliency And Stress Planning, Martha Ta
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
As Toronto’s low-income areas grow, the city’s neighbourhoods experience a segregation by low- and high-income, contributing to chronic stress as environmental determinants and leading to negative health outcomes and chronic diseases. This study identified Crescent Town as one of the Toronto neighbourhoods with potentially high levels of chronic emotional stress through an analysis of emotions indicated by Tweets, as well as triangulation with administrative data describing relevant neighbourhood indicators. Crescent Town community members (n=23) were engaged using concept mapping to identify existing neighbourhood stressors and assets and empowered to strategize solutions. The ten-cluster solution created with six clusters describing neighbourhood …
The Perceived Community Engagement Survey: Further Exploration Of Its Reliability And Validity, Rafael Rivera
The Perceived Community Engagement Survey: Further Exploration Of Its Reliability And Validity, Rafael Rivera
Dissertations
Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) have become the source of delivery for a number of social and health-related services in many communities. CBOs provide needed services in some of the most resource-poor communities. The moniker of community-based implies that these organizations are located within specific communities in order to provide services to community members. As organizations that have bloomed within communities to respond to particular community needs continue to grow and receive government funding, a primary funding source for many CBOs, questions arise about how responsive they remain to their surrounding communities. Funder mandates and foci may become more critical to CBOs …

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Resident participation is a vital factor and key prerequisite to the planning, development and implementation of community-driven projects. Early implementation evaluations, especially during the planning stages of project development, are critical to ensuring effective resident participation. Understanding the nature of resident participation, including the activities involved, facilitators, barriers, and outcomes of engagement, is essential for laying the foundation for program success and sustainability. This study was an implementation evaluation of a small community-based initiated project that examined resident participation, varying by degrees of involvement throughout the early stages of implementation. The sample (N = 11) consisted of three service-providers, …
