Serving Others With Unity Of Knowledge And Practice, Qiaohong, Helen Huo

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

服务-学习是一种将社区服务与课程学习相结合的有效教学方法。多年来，学者们总结出各种服务-学习的模式，其中课程型的社区参与服务-学习模式最能体现服务-学习的最终目标。 课程型的社区参与服务-学习分为必修课和选修课两种。我院结合旅游管理专业特性，面向本专业已经具有志愿服务意愿和实践的义工队队员开设了两学期的服务学习选修课，服务学习（一）和服务学习（二），4学分。按照服务学习先学校后社区，先泛后专的阶梯模式，逐步引导同学运用专业知识服务他人，服务社区，并从社区服务实践中提升了对社会的关注和社会责任感，全面提升同学的沟通能力、团队合作能力、分析和解决问题的能力。我们相信，学生只有先走进社区，了解社区基层人员的真实需要，将需要转化为学习课题和实践项目，才可以让服务学习具有持久的生命力。
