Abstract
The workshop will introduce a measurement instrument to assess student learning experience after their services in a higher education setting. The instrument is developed by a research project collaboratively conducted by Lingnan University, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Baptist University, and The Education University of Hong Kong, aiming to further enhance and support service-learning in Hong Kong and beyond, after its adoption by many higher education institutions during the last decade.
The instrument covers 11 domains under four categories, namely knowledge application, personal and professional skills, civic orientation and engagement, and self-awareness. In the validation exercise, the instrument has shown satisfactory dimensionality and internal consistency. The validation results together with future steps will be shared in the workshop.
CoP-SLHE is one of the initiatives of an UGC-funded project, "Cross-institutional Capacity Building for Service-Learning in Hong Kong Higher Education Institutions (Project No.: PolyU4/T&L/16-19) jointly organised by Hong Kong Baptist University, Lingnan University, The Education University of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Our goal is to facilitate sharing of experiences among Service-Learning practitioners and interested staff from all UGC-funded institutions and to promote collective learning and the scholarship of teaching and learning in Service-Learning.
