Re: Evaluation of Learning in Community-based Education

Colleagues:  

A months ago, I posed the following question to the listserv…on behalf of 
someone in CA.  

“Do you know if anyone has done a bibliography (annotated?) on research done on 
the evaluation of learning in community-based programs?”

I received a few responses, including one from Sarena Seifer, who asked an 
important question to gain some clarity on the question.  I also received 
several emails from folks who wanted to receive a summary of the responses.  I 
was unable to get any clarification from the person who originally posed the 
question, as to what she was specifically looking for.  I have summarized the 
responses below.  Thanks to all those who contributed.  Elaine

Hi Elaine - what do you mean by community-based programs? Service-learning run 
by community-based organizations?
Please clarify and will try to be helpful

Elaine,
Have you checked the At a Glance on the Compact website? It may a partial 
answer.

Elaine,

I believe that CNCS did an evaluation of community-based
service-learning. Dr. Larry Bailis from Brandeis University has worked
with them and us on community-based research. You might contact him.
You can reach him at bailis@brandeis.edu.
