Experiences with Service-Learning as Perceived by Students, Faculty, and Community Partners Involved with the Master of Public Health Program at the Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies

"Service-learning on a voluntary basis as well as being a requirement for a degree has a positive impact on learning. The AIIAS Department of Public Health (DPH) in the Philippines has conducted various community service activities in the communities surrounding its campus. The Master’s of Public Health (MPH) students participated in these service-learning activities through their final projects, internships, and class activities. This study evaluated the perspectives, attitudes, satisfaction, and personal reflections of the students, faculty, and community partners involved in AIIAS DPH service-learning activities during 2003 - 2004. Students and faculty agreed that the service-learning experiences helped them to improve themselves and the community they served, while the community partners had neutral attitudes. Specific recommendations for improvement are presented to the AIIAS DPH."
