Do "Days of Service" Meet Institutional Service-Learning Goals? A Case Study in Assessment of the MLK Day of Service
Erbaugh, Elizabeth B.; Bonnan-White, Jess
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v10 n1 p5-20 2018
This study pilots a survey tool for assessing participant experiences in the MLK Day of Service at a public university. Student, faculty, staff, community volunteer, and community partner participants (N=344) reflected upon service, learning, and university-community connections as part of a multi-method evaluation process. Quantitative analysis of unidimensional and summed variables found significant variation by instructional site and participant affiliation. Such measures and instruments may clarify the role of Days of Service in advancing institutional service-learning goals.
