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?

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.

Ancient Texts And Modern Education : Some Service-Learning Concepts In South Asia, Kalyan Ray Jun 2007

Ancient Texts And Modern Education : Some Service-Learning Concepts In South Asia, Kalyan Ray

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

Fundamentally different from Freudian ideas of Self which predicate much of global -- and mostly Western -- analysis of societal concerns and issues, there is a profoundly influential Asian alternative to the view of the Self. Ancient Sanskrit texts, such as the Upanishads, offer very different foci and explication of the idea of the Self, its relation to education and to each others in society, and the fundamental connection to Service-Learning. These ancient Sanskrit tests have also deeply influenced early Buddhist philosophy. Dr. Ray's presentation explores these concepts from the Taittiriya Upanishad and their influence on ideas of social connectivity …
