Service learning: Community involvement for CCBC nursing students
S
ervice learning is an impressive educational tool that incorporates community work into the
curriculum. It encompasses three main components: service, curricular connection, and
reflection. Service learning helps students emerge from the theoretical world gained in the classroom
to the real world learning experiences. Nursing students are given this learning opportunity to apply
knowledge gained in the classroom to reality by getting hands-on experience in the community.
Students are evaluated on their ability to connect their course readings to class discussions and to
their volunteer work. Class discussions and written materials are meant to demonstrate analytical
thinking and use of college and community resource by students. Service learning creates a win-
win situation where the student meets a community need, and the community organizations build
student knowledge that relates to nursing.
