How Reflection Undoes Service Learning Ann Feldman (Click name for speaker's biography) Learning Sciences Brown Bag Colloquium announces a presentation by Ann Feldman: How Reflection Undoes Service Learning This talk, which is based on a paper-in-progress, examines what happens when a cultural commonplace (even a God term) like reflection is reconfigured into a writing-based pedagogy. This paper seeks to solve a curricular dilemma that emerged for a UIC team of faculty, graduate students, and staff as we developed curriculum for an undergraduate civic engagement program, The Chicago Civic Leadership Certificate Program (CCLCP). Many service learning scholars advocate for a curriculum based on reflective writing, which we found inadequate. Instead, we argue for “situated writing,” which places students as active participants who shape and reshape their world through language. We welcome the participation of all members of the UIC Community.
