Service-learning was introduced into Hong Kong over a decade ago, yet there is a research gap about the self-perceived student learning outcomes, partly due to the lack of a reliable measurement instrument across disciplines and service-learning types. This study evaluated a recently created Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS) through confirmatory factor analysis with 629 students. S-LOMS measures self-perceived student learning outcomes with 56 items covering various learning outcome domains under four higher-order categories: knowledge application; personal and professional skills; civic orientation and engagement; and self-awareness. Alternative measurement models were compared, with the results indicating that although a model with 11 domains and without higher-order categories was preferred, there was also support for a model with 10 domains subsumed under the four higher-order categories. Multi-sample analyses indicated that both models were stable across gender.

Assessment in educational institutions is mandated by the public and by accrediting organizations. Faculty must plan for program assessment within the context of the college or university goals and assessment projects. Within the department or college of nursing, student learning outcomes must be assessed at the total program level and at the course and classroom levels. Faculty who are motivated to plan assessments and use outcome data should take leadership in the process. The process consists of determining the outcomes to be assessed, the measures to be used, and the standards to be reached. When data has been collected, it must be evaluated and used to make improvements. Finally, the assessment process itself should be assessed. This article gives examples of assessment methods for all levels of assessment at the institution, but especially at the program and course levels. A departmental assessment blueprint is included. The end result of implementation of an assessment plan is that at every level of the institution, excellence should be enhanced.

This study aims to improve service learning outcomes in volleyball games for students of Class XI K1 of SMK Negeri 3 Sukawati 2016/2017. The subjects of this study were students of Class XI Karawitan 1 in the 2016/2017 school year which amounted to 25 students. This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of 2 meetings which consist of planning, action, observation, evaluation, and reflection. Data on student learning outcomes were collected through individual practice tests. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate the application of the cooperative learning model Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) can improve student learning outcomes indicated by the results of the study before the average action is obtained by students with number 7, in the first cycle increases with an average mastery of material by 67 in the less category, with a 17% increase. in cycle II it increased to 74, so the increase occurred at 17%. With enough categories. But overall, there has been a significant increase. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers in the learning process activities can use the STAD type cooperative approach to improve student learning achievement
