Schneider-Cline, Whitney
Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, v8 Oct 2018
Reflection is a key component for integrating meaningful collegiate service-learning experiences with a student's personal and professional growth. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to compare two types of reflective journal writing (guided and open-ended) utilized in undergraduate Communication Disorder courses. A comparison of pre- and post-Service-Learning Survey (SLS) data and reflective journal writing samples indicated value for both types of written reflection.
