Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic upended college classrooms, challenging instructors to deliver classes differently while still seeking to achieve pre-planned goals. Service-learning instructors faced a quandary: discontinuing activities could compromise course integrity, but requiring service was impossible, impractical, or inappropriate. Creative solutions were needed. This study explored the learning outcomes from a replacement activity, the philanthropic informational interview, in a philanthropy general education class and asked whether it could generate outcomes similar to service-learning. Data were drawn from student reflections (n = 145) from nine online course sections between spring 2020 and summer 2021. Thematic analysis identified eight learning outcomes: engaging with social issues, nonprofit solutions to social issues, insights into nonprofits’ innerworkings, philanthropy as everyone’s responsibility, enhanced empathetic understanding, value-driven career inspiration, developing interview skills, and building career capacities. These outcomes align with research about service-learning and suggest that the philanthropic informational interview can be a meaningful alternative to service-learning in some situations.

“采访启发,震惊,感动我”:慈善信息采访作为服务学习的流行选择
2019冠状病毒病大流行颠覆了大学课堂,挑战教师以不同的方式授课,同时仍在寻求实现预先计划的目标。服务学习教师面临着一个两难境地:停止活动可能会损害课程的完整性,但要求服务是不可能的、不切实际的或不合适的。需要创造性的解决方案。摘要本研究探讨了慈善通识教育课堂中替代活动慈善信息访谈的学习效果,并询问其是否能产生类似于服务学习的结果。数据来自2020年春季至2021年夏季九个在线课程部分的学生反馈(n = 145)。专题分析确定了八项学习成果:参与社会问题、非营利组织解决社会问题、洞察非营利组织内部运作、慈善作为每个人的责任、增强同理心理解、价值驱动的职业灵感、发展面试技巧和建立职业能力。这些结果与关于服务学习的研究相一致,并表明慈善信息访谈在某些情况下可以成为服务学习的有意义的替代方案。
