Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: With the phenomenal growth of community service opportunities in U.S. high schools and higher education institutions from the 1990s, there is also a growing body of research evidence documenting the positive influences of community service on its participants' cognitive, psychosocial and moral development. The student outcome of particular interest to the present study is post-college career choice, which has never been examined within an explicit theoretical framework despite the significant findings from a few empirical studies. There are also nontrivial methodological limitations among prior studies, such as the use of career plan as a proxy for actual occupations entered, the neglect of academic disciplines as a source of influence on career choice, and so on. Built upon both developmental and socialization theories, the current study seeks to understand the unique impact of community service participation on the choice of service-related careers after college, when personality types and important environmental factors are controlled for their influences. It incorporates data from the base-year and four follow-up surveys of the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:88), which provide nationally representative information about the original 8th grade cohort's involvement in community service and their development from high school through college and post-college years. Results from logistic regression analyses suggest that it is continuous volunteering from high school to college, rather than volunteering in college alone, that increases the likelihood of college graduates with non-Social personality preferences to pursue service-related careers. Moreover, there are significant gender and personality differences in terms of the impact of community service on post-college career choice, as indicated by the results of separate analyses on the subgroups of the sample. The present study both contributes to theoretical knowledge about the socialization dynamics of community service, and to empirical studies of college impact on career outcomes. Importance of the study and implications for future research and policy are also discussed.

Abstract: Students studying under the new senior secondary school curriculum in Hong Kong can either perform community service under the Other Learning Experiences (OLE) organized by schools or volunteer their time for service. The primary aims of this study are to report the community service involvement of a selected group of secondary school students in Hong Kong, and to explore the impact of different types of community services on students' intention to volunteer, volunteer satisfaction, and sense of personal and social responsibility. This study also investigates the effects of various individual and volunteering factors on students' continuation of volunteering in Hong Kong. A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was used to examine the relationship between community service and other variables, namely responsibility, intention and satisfaction on young people in Hong Kong. A total of 1,046 secondary school students aged between 13 and 21 were recruited via purposive sampling from seven secondary schools. The respondents in this study consisted of Forms 5 to 6 students, and they completed the self-administered questionnaire containing 92 items to measure the theory of planned behavior personal and social responsibility, volunteer satisfaction and continuation of volunteering. Based on their participation in community service under the OLE and their self-organized volunteer services, four groups of respondents can be identified. They are: 1) those who participated in both OLE-related community services and self-organized volunteer services (N=461, 44.84%); 2) those who participated in self-organized volunteer services only (N=339, 32.98%); 3) those who participated in OLE-related community services only (N=38, 3.70%) and 4) those who did not participate in any form of community services (N=190, 18.48%). As expected, findings indicate that the factors of gender, level of educational attainment and prior community service involvement are associated with volunteer intention, satisfaction, responsibility and continuation of volunteering. The results also highlight that those who did not participate in any form of community services in the past 12 years had the lowest scores on the Theory of Planned Behavior-Chinese (TPB-C) scale and continuation of volunteering behaviors. Students with only OLE-related community service participation had the lowest scores on Personal and Social Responsibility Scale-Chinese (PSRS-C), and Volunteer Satisfaction Index-Chinese (VSI-C). An Ordinal Logistic Regression analysis showed that the Theory of Planned Behavior, personal and social responsibility, and volunteer satisfaction are predictors of students' continuation of volunteering behaviors. This study offers further implications for school personnel and youth workers who work closely with young people and promote volunteerism among secondary school students. Students with voluntary community service experience (i.e. those who both participated in OLE-related community services and self-organized volunteer services, and those who participated in self-organized volunteer services only) have higher scores in their volunteer intention, satisfaction and responsibility. Practitioners can engage students with different community service programs in fostering their positive development. Practitioners can also improve service design and related arrangements with

Book Synopsis Effects of Service-Learning for High School Students on Their Decisions for Post-Secondary Education, Career, and Community Involvement by : Lori Taylor Gary
Download or read book Effects of Service-Learning for High School Students on Their Decisions for Post-Secondary Education, Career, and Community Involvement written by Lori Taylor Gary and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "High school education should prepare young adults for civic participation and economic self-sufficiency. To meet these expectations, current high school curriculum and teaching methods need to be reexamined as many graduates are not prepared to make the transition from high school to college, career, or civic involvement. The inclusion of service-learning opportunities into the curriculum may be a way to prepare students for making better decisions after high school. Research reveals that service learning is grounded in the constructivist learning theory and serves multiple intelligences through differentiated instruction. This sequential, explanatory, mixed-methods study explored the extent to which participation in an elective high school service-learning course helped determine decisions regarding post-secondary education, career, and community involvement. Quantitative data was collected from former service-learning students via electronic surveys using a Likert scale. Split-half reliability was used to test the internal consistency of the survey questions. Qualitative data was collected through focus group interviews and was coded to reveal themes. Member checking and peer review were used to validate the findings. Results indicated that the service-learning experience had a significant effect on decisions regarding post-secondary education, career, and community involvement. The study findings may have an effect on social change as secondary educators use service-learning to better prepare graduates for post-secondary opportunities by cultivating a generation of young people who can make positive contributions through participation and leadership within their schools and communities.
