Please circle the number that most accurately indicates your opinion regarding the statements below.   

 

1.  Service-learning proved to be a teaching strategy          1           2               3                4

     competencies of the subject matter I teach.

2.  I feel that the service my students completed               1           2              3               4

     through this class was beneficial to the community.

3.  Using service-learning required more of my time           1           2             3               4

     as a teacher; but it was worth it.

4.  I feel that the service the students completed              1             2              3               4

     interfered with their academic responsibilities.

5.  The idea of combining service to the community          1             2              3               4         

     with college course work should be practiced in

     more classes at my [Community] College.

6.  I received enough assistance with the mechanics        1             2              3               4

     of service-Learning (identifying placement sites,

     follow-up with students, etc. )

     service in my community than I was before.

     teaching strategy with future courses.

9.  I learned much about myself through my service         1             2              3               4

     activities.

10. Some educators say that real learning means being   1             2              3               4

     able to integrate learning into your own behavior .

     With that definition, I feel that this class was very

     successful in helping my students really learn.
