Students Learn How Nonprofits Utilize Volunteers through Inquiry-Based Learning
Bolton, Elizabeth B.; Brennan, M. A.; Terry, Bryan D.
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, v21 n3 p285-294 2009
This article highlights how undergraduate students implemented inquiry-based learning strategies to learn how nonprofit organizations utilize volunteers. In inquiry-based learning, students begin with a problem or question with some degree of focus or structure provided by the professor. The student inquiry showcased in this article was based on a questionnaire used in an interview with the chief executive officer of a local nonprofit organization. The data collected by students participating in the inquiry-based project contribute to a study that may be used to guide student learning outcomes as they prepare for careers in the nonprofit sector. Inquiry-based learning is a useful approach to focus student learning outcomes and engage students in authentic, active research. (Contains 3 tables.)
