Service Learning

- In the book, Colleges are most concerned about preparing citizens for the future, graduates who are well prepared to enter the job market and contribute to society. Insititutions that require serivce-learning courses believe that such courses offer a fundamental way to develop and graduate involved citizens. The reason is that the experience of service-learning is smiliar to work in real-world. When we do service learning, we actively learn a lot which depends on the result of our effort. So the point of the service learning is for us to grow in skills and knowledge precisely. This is not only good for us, but also for our community. Therefore, to be citizen is that if we do something good for our countries, they will response for what we do. Then we get something good, and also our countries, too. I think this is the meaning of the concept of educating students to be responsible students.

- I think both of them are important. Generally, in colleges, we learn subjects from professors. And also, we take tests, do homework, and write a paper. I think what we are doing in colleges is basic compare to work in the real-world. Then, think about this. Without basic knowledge, how can we work for? We can study while we are working, so we have to prepare for what we gona do. For service learning, we learn which we do not learn in colleges. What we are learn is by expereience. So there are different among these two. What I can conclude that both of them are our duty to learn for our futures.
