Service-Learning In Tourism, Denis Simond

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Service-Learning as a teaching methodology is categorized as experiential education, or learning by doing. Projects aid the development of local community infrastructure and/or conservation.

By involving a diverse range of people in experiential education, knowledge, skills and motivation needed to understand culture differences and foster environmental and community awareness are gained. Structured opportunities are created to evaluate the service experience, allowing participants to be constantly aware of the impact of their work.

• Seniors – Research & Service Projects
  
• Intergenerational – Lingnan University Students & Seniors

Cross-Countries Experiences In Organizing Service-Learning Programs, Kano Yamamoto

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The purpose of my presentation is to conceptually clarify the role of Service-Learning (S-L) in establishing mutual trust, peace and security under the globalized today’s world. Through our experiences, it has become evident that the international S-L is a powerful means in overcoming cultural diversity thereby building peaceful world. The globalization, beside its positive aspects, brings serious problems such as market failures, identity crisis, fundamentalism, inequity, etc., which brings uncertainty and human insecurity. To deal with these problems, we need to emphasize very basic human values universally found in most communities; “Back to Basics”. S-L is quite powerful where participants …

Promoting Service-Learning In China : Historical, Cross-Cultural, And Interdisciplinary Issues And Perspectives, Sheying Chen

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The motto “serve the people” tended to yield lip service under the politicization and de-politicization of the Chinese economic state (Chen, 2004). Recent change in China’s general public policy (GPP) has shown a growing commitment to service as a government function and social aspiration. Higher education as a social institution has also experienced dramatic changes, from “serve proletarian politics” to “serve modernization construction”. “Serve the people” is now paid new attention in Chinese higher education policy. Although Chinese institutions of higher education have long engaged students in “practical learning”, promoting service as a learning activity and pedagogy requires a more …

Service-Learning In Tertiary Institutes : Nurturing A Giving Culture Among U-Students In Hong Kong, Cheung Ming, Alfred Chan

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Lingnan University is the first University in Hong Kong to set up an Office of Service-Learning that echoes its long-standing motto, ‘Education for Service’. Our mission, following the same tradition enacted in the 70s by the US leading universities, is not only to develop able scholars, but also to serve our community with the knowledge learned in classrooms. Service-Learning seeks to provide a vital university-community link through which students can find meanings in academic pursuits and in helping those in need. Serving in real life situations also facilitates students’ learning in lifelong commitments to community service, research and leadership. In …

The Effects Of A Facilitator In The Performance Of A Heterogeneous Working Group : A Service-Learning Exploration In Technology Education, Shing Sun Li

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The importance of scientific knowledge and technology in daily life is duly emphasized in the reformed curriculum. Also, the mode of learning and teaching is to change from teacher-centered approach to cooperative approach. ‘Learning-by- doing’ and ‘cooperative-learning’ are considered as effective means to learn. Being a pioneer in science and technology education, the researcher’s school organizes workshops for primary students and their families across the Territories each year. In the workshop held last November, secondary students who acted as facilitators, practiced their ‘generic skills’ whilst the primary students and their parents ‘constructed’ knowledge and consequently ‘valued’ their family activities. The …

The Quest For Learning In Service-Learning : Approaches And Variations In The Asia-Pacific, Betty Cernol-Mccann

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The practice of Service-Learning as a teaching methodology has varying approaches across learning communities. This is to be expected of a methodology that recognizes diversities, context-based learning, and meaning-making in teaching-learning. As a communal learning enterprise, how can learning be enhanced in Service-Learning? How can Service-Learning aid the formation of a learning community? Based on her observation of the Service-Learning practices in the Asia-Pacific, the author proposes ways to maximize learning outcomes through partnerships and building of alliances.

Cross Boarders And Reap Beyond The Obvious Outcomes, Jane Szutu Permaul

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

What borders are we talking about, and how might we be enriched by crossing these borders? Answers to these questions can broaden our horizons with reference to the borders that we need to cross in order to develop and institutionalized Service-Learning. Furthermore, identification of outcomes from Service-Learning beyond the obvious is essential to integrate Service-Learning into the academic curricula. We know that Service-Learning yield student learning, but is it worth academic credits? We know community service is performed, but what else?

Service-Learning As A University-Wide Program : Rationales And Issues, Kwan Yiu, Edward Chen

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Service-Learning plays a significant role in liberal arts education which is the preferred form of undergraduate education for meeting the challenges of the New /Creative Economy of today. The modern world has brought about issues such as dealing with uncertainty and change, diversity, and inequality resulting from digital divide. Liberal arts education emphasizes the importance of teaching and learning processes such as interactive relationships, community services, transdisciplinarity, and international exposure. Service-Learning is a useful medium through which the liberal arts teaching and learning processes can be practiced and the issues of the modern economy can be studies or even resolved.

Ageing And Family In Asian Society : Future Roles Of Our Younger Generations, Keiko Osaki

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Owing to a long-term decline in fertility and improvement in longevity, the rapid process of population ageing has become an emerging reality that challenges Asian society. Along with such transformations, the family in Asia is also experiencing unprecedented changes, in terms of its structure, function and value. Prof. Osaki addresses inevitable socio-demographic changes shaping the societies in Asia and calls attention to the needs to strengthen inter-generational solidarity. Using the framework of the United Nations World Programme of Action for Youth (WAPY), she stresses that the facilitation of interdependence between younger and older persons should be a prerequisite to meeting …

Inspiring The Retirees Towards Active Ageing : A Case Study Of The Elderly Shop Project, Kwok Fai, Tony Leung

APIAS Monograph 專題論文

The “elderly shop” project is a project for retired elderly who are commonly identified as recipients of care and assistance, to venture into business. It provides a platform for them to be actively engaged in productive activities. This project is based on the “self-financing” business model. With the elderly as role models other social groups such as housewives and non-engaged/unemployed youths are also enlisted to provide support to this project. Together they form the service team. The transfer of “know how” and consultative support provided by the business community and professionals enable this project to provide services to those who …

Quand On Vient Aussi De L’Autre Monde: Appartenance(S), Conflit(S) Et Déchirement(S) Dans L’Enfant Des Deux Mondes De Karima Berger, Carla Calargé

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

My essay analyzes Karima Berger’s first novel, L’enfant des deux mondes (1989). The author who has been living in France for more than 25 years tells the story of a Muslim Arab girl (herself ?) educated in the French school system of pre-independent Algeria. In this study, I examine linguistic, cultural and religious issues raised by the novel in an effort to identify the factors that keep the protagonist imprisoned in a permanent state of being in-between-two-worlds without fully belonging to any of them.
