Competence in research methods is a major contribution to (future) teachers’ professionalism. In the pedagogical approach presented here, which we call the Teaching Clinic, we combine service-learning and design-based research to create meaningful learning engagements. We present two cases to illustrate the objectives, processes, and outcomes of the service-learning projects and reflect about both in terms of learning and service outcomes. This includes discussions of how this pedagogical approach led to motivation and engagement, how principles of transfer of training are obeyed, and what this means quite generally for school-university relationships.

Many medical schools provide curricular or extra-curricular courses focused on service activities for social responsibility. Research on service learning varies from theory to teaching model, but research on service learning in medical education is difficult to find. Therefore, this study aims at developing a program that combines a medical educational curriculum and service activities. For the development of a service learning model in medical education, this study adopted Design Based Research method as a research method and developed a service learning model in medical education by analyzing problems in educational settings (2014-2017), reviewing literature, and going through a total of three formative cycles. As a result of applying the first Service Learning Model in Medical Education developed through literature analysis to the school field three cycles and revising it, we developed a final Service Learning Model in Medical Education with preparation, orientation, implementation, reflection, celebration, and evaluation s stages. The feelings of reward, interest, and satisfaction levels of the student’s analysis results showed continuously increased. In particular, the students showed higher levels of feelings of reward, interest and satisfaction in the final SL-ME model applied in 2017 than in the first SL-ME model applied in 2014. This study is significant in that it outlines the concepts, necessity, and instructional model of service learning necessary for the operation of service-related programs in medical education.

Service Learning, originally from the US, is seen as a promising educational method with close connection between theory and practise to promote competencies. The use in international education ranges from primary school to university with a wide variety of content orientation. Many studies have proven positive effects, quality criteria and success supporting factors of Service Learning. There is a lack of distinctions in groups of learners in differently differentiated Education Systems for creating an appropriate specific design and evaluation related to the school type. The Design Based Research focuses on “Mittelschule”, one of three kinds of school after primary school in Bavaria, Germany. The DBR shows that Service Learning can effectively promote overarching objectives of the type of school as well as the aims of the subject preparing for economics and profession, called “Wirtschaft und Beruf”, formerly “AWT”, respectively “Arbeitslehre” in terms of life skills and democracy education, if further and expended criteria is added to general quality criteria and design parameters, identified during the research process are used. The results, which have been verified quantitatively, come from a qualitative content analysis of reflection sheets, surveys, and student interviews from three Design Cycles on the use of Service Learning that were carried out at a Bavarian “Mittelschule”. The evaluation of the data shows that previously formulated success factors need to be expended in terms of content and must include people and levels outside of the immediate classroom. Transparency for everyone involved, creation of broader public, reflection methods that are adapted to the students’ needs and are as free of written language as possible, and the planning of anchor events to increase and maintain motivation can all be considered as additional specific design features for “Mittelschule”. The co-developed framework-process model is an instrument for elaborate modelling of service learning. It can be used to plan service learning for teaching, for structuring and locating scientific findings, or as a starting point for further theoretical discussions. Further research could deal with specific characteristics of other types of schools, tackle a structured recording of the spread of service learning in the German schools or focus further in the context of “Mittelschule”. Service Learning, ursprünglich aus dem US-amerikanischen Raum stammend, gilt als vielversprechendes Bildungsformat mit hohem Theorie-Praxis-Bezug zur Förderung von Kompetenzen. Der Einsatz in der internationalen Bildungslandschaft reicht dabei von der schulischen Grundbildung bis zur akademischen Ausbildung mit unterschiedlichster inhaltlicher Ausrichtung. In einer Vielzahl von Studien werden positive Wirkungen, Qualitätskriterien und Gelingensfaktoren von Service-Learning nachgewiesen. Dabei fehlen Unterscheidungen in Gruppen von Lernenden in unterschiedlich ausdifferenzierten Bildungssystemen für eine angemessene, schulartspezifischen Gestaltung und Bewertung. Der durchgeführte Design Based Research fokussiert auf den Haupt- bzw. Mittelschulbereich und zeigt, dass Service-Learning die übergeordneten Zielsetzungen der Schulart und des Fachs Wirtschaft und Beruf nach Handlungskompetenz und Demokratiebildung effektiv fördern kann, wenn neben allgemein gültigen Qualitätskriterien erweiterte und zusätzliche, im Forschungsprozess identifizierte, Gestaltungsparameter eingesetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse, die quantitativ abgesichert sind, stammen aus der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Reflexionsbögen, Befragungen und Schülerinterviews aus drei Designzyklen zum Einsatz von Service-Learning, die an einer bayerischen Mittelschule durchgeführt wurden. Die Auswertung der Daten zeigt, dass bisher formulierte Gelingensfaktoren inhaltlich erweitert werden müssen und Personen und Ebenen außerhalb des unmittelbaren Unterrichts miteinschließen müssen. Transparenz für alle Beteiligten, das Herstellen breiter Öffentlichkeit, auf die Schülerschaft angepasste, möglichst schriftsprachfreie Reflexionsmethoden und das Einplanen von Ankerereignissen zur Motivationssteigerung und zum Motivationserhalt können zusätzlich mittelschulspezifische Gestaltungsmerkmale für Service-Learning gelten. Das mitentwickelte Rahmen-Prozess-Modell stellt ein Instrument zur elaborierten Modellierung von Service-Learning dar. Es kann als unterrichtliche Planungshilfe für Service-Learning, zur Strukturierung und Verortung von wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen, oder als Ausgangspunkt weiterer theoretischer Auseinandersetzung genutzt werden. Weitere Forschung könnte sich mit spezifischen Merkmalen anderer Schularten auseinandersetzen, eine strukturierte Erfassung der Verbreitung von Service Learning im deutschen Schulkontext angehen oder weiter im Mittelschulbereich fokussieren.

Resumen:La mejora de los procesos de formación inicial y continuada del profesorado a partir del diálogo entre el conocimiento surgido de la experiencia y el conocimiento teórico, no se produce de forma espontánea. Es necesario promover y dotar de instrumentos a los estudiantes para adquirir competencias profesionales adecuadas. El proyecto Construcción de conocimiento pedagógico a partir de la transferencia de experiencias de aprendizaje servicio en la formación inicial de maestros y maestras, investigación basada en el diseño (design-based research), tiene como objetivo mejorar el nexo entre la teoría y la práctica, facilitando procesos mediante los cuales estudiantes y docentes piensan sobre la formación y el aprendizaje que pretenden llevar a cabo. El principal objetivo de este artículo es presentar los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación. Por un lado, la batería de instrumentos para extraer conocimiento de las situaciones de experiencia desarrolladas en los proyectos de aprendizaje servicio. Por otro, el proceso de validación de dichos instrumentos. Se ha llegado a ambos resultados a partir de procesos colaborativos entre los diferentes agentes implicados. Abstract:The improvement of the initial and continuous teacher training based on the knowledge arise from the experience and the theoretical knowledge, does not occur spontaneously. It is necessary to provide tools that facilitate the appropriate professional skills to students. The project- Construction of pedagogical knowledge from the transfer of service learning experiences in the initial training of teachers - is a design-based research that has as a main goal to improve the relationship between theory and practice. The aim of this contribution is to describe and analyse the results obtained during the co-design process and to analyse the validation of the tools developed during the research. On the one hand, the battery of instruments to extract knowledge of the experience situations arising from service learning projects. On the other, the process of validation of these instruments. Both results have been achieved through collaborative processes between the different agents involved.

Promoting cultural competence in serving diverse clients has become critically important across disciplines. Yet, progress has been limited in raising awareness and sensitivity. Tervalon and Murray-Garcia (1998) believed that cultural competence can only be truly achieved through critical self-assessment, recognition of limits, and ongoing acquisition of knowledge (known as “cultural humility”). Teaching cultural humility, and the value associated with it remains a challenging task for many educators. Challenges inherent in such instruction stem from lack of resources/known strategies as well as learner and instructor readiness. Kirk (2007) further indicates that providing feedback on one's integrity could be threatening. In current study, both traditional classroom-based teaching pedagogy and hands-on community engagement were reviewed. To bridge a gap between academic teaching/learning and real world situations, the author proposed service learning as a means to teach cultural humility and empower students with confidence in serving clients from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds. To provide a class of 51 students with multicultural and multilingual community service experience, the author partnered with the Tzu-Chi Foundation (an international nonprofit organization). In this article, the results, strengths, and limitations of this service learning project are discussed.

Purpose Future speech-language pathologists are often unprepared in their academic training to serve the communicative and cognitive needs of older adults with dementia. While negative attitudes toward older adults are prevalent among undergraduate students, service learning has been shown to positively affect students' attitudes toward older adults. TimeSlips is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to improve health care students' attitudes toward older adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the change in attitudes in speech-language pathology students toward older adults using TimeSlips in service learning. Method Fifty-one students participated in TimeSlips service learning with older adults and completed the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS) before and after service learning. In addition, students completed a reflection journal. The DAS data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics, and journal entries were analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. Results The service learners exhibited a significant increase in positive attitude as indexed on the DAS. The reflective journal entries supported the positive change in attitudes. Conclusions A noticeable attitude shift was indexed in reflective journals and on the DAS. TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.

Abstract The intent of this article is to share my research endeavors in order to raise awareness of issues relative to what and how we teach as a means to spark interest in applying the scholarship of teaching and learning to what we do as faculty in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). My own interest in teaching and learning emerged rather abruptly after I introduced academic service-learning (AS-L) into one of my graduate courses (Stevens, 2002). To better prepare students to enter our profession, I have provided them with unique learning opportunities working with various community partners including both speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers who supported persons with severe communication disorders.
