    Assessing Hidden Outcomes of Civic or Community Engagement during College
    (2017-08-03) Weiss, H. Anne; Norris, Kristin
    Pedagogies of community engagement have been touted as one way faculty or staff can produce or strengthen disciplinary or subject-related learning outcomes or skill development for students in higher education. This has, consequently, left other learning and developmental outcomes often unspoken or, more often, unmeasured and hidden across teaching and learning experiences during college . These unstated learning and developmental outcomes are, however, intrinsic to community engaged pedagogies and initiatives: civic learning/knowledge, civic identity, civic agency, civic mindedness, and much more! In this presentation participants will begin with the PUBLIC goals, objectives, outcomes, etc. in mind and end with articulating a strategy to identify and assess these, often, unstated outcomes of community engagement pedagogies or initiatives.

    Service Learning Courses IU Indianapolis High-Impact Practice Taxonomy
    (Indiana University, 2024-08-09) Bishop, Charity; Brown, Lorrie; Daday, Jerry; Garrity, Karen; Hahn, Thomas; Hyatt, Susan; Lienemann, Charli; Price Mahoney, Jennifer; Shukla, Anubhuti; Zoeller, Aimee
    Service learning is identified as a high-impact practice: that is, a teaching and learning practice that shows “evidence of significant educational benefits for students who participate in them—including and especially those from demographic groups historically underserved by higher education” (AAC&U, 2023). The purpose of the IU Indianapolis Taxonomy for Service Learning Courses is to: 1. Support instructors by providing clear criteria for teaching high impact service learning courses. 2. Identify service learning course attributes, explore the relationship between the attributes and student outcomes, and provide assessment guidelines for the attributes. 3. Inform and advance a research agenda for service learning by identifying course attributes that may affect student outcomes, (e.g., civic learning, academic learning, personal growth), as well as outcomes for other stakeholders (e.g., faculty development, community impact, community partner collaboration and satisfaction). 4. Provide a tool to document evidence to support instructors’ promotion, tenure, and professional advancement. 5. Support institutional and multi-campus research on service learning courses with a common taxonomy. 6. Provide a framework and approach for other institutions to either adopt or adapt the taxonomy, depending upon how service learning is conceptualized within each institution’s mission and context.
