Abstract | Intergenerational service-learning has become an important practice in gerontology and geriatrics education. Although numerous benefits of service-learning have been documented, greater attention to critical reflection, a key component for harvesting the learning in service-learning, is needed to increase our understanding of what students really are learning from intergenerational service-learning and how we may best enhance the positive aspects of that learning. This article examines the elements necessary for effective service-learning reflection, as well as reports on the results of a survey of gerontology and geriatric educators (N = 142) regarding their experiences with intergenerational service-learning and their use of specific reflection practices. The findings suggest that the types and implementation of service-learning reflection activities used in aging courses vary considerably. The importance of service-learning reflection and its associated benefits and challenges are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided). |
