A Service-Learning Model for Science Education Outreach

Journal of College Science Teaching -- September 2006

The Science Education Outreach Program (SEOP) engages undergraduate students from a variety of academic disciplines in service-learning experiences. University and community educators introduce and model contemporary educational theories and methods to participating undergraduates during weekly seminars. Concurrently, SEOP students apply these strategies through service-learning experiences in the context of science education in area schools and community-based programs. A comprehensive review of SEOP indicated that the undergraduates applied the seminar teachings to their outreach efforts, and that participation in the program had positive impacts on their education and career choices, as well as workplace and life skills.
