Chapter 2: Overview of Instructional Design
Integrating Jumpstart service-learning into your course effectively takes intentional design, but it is not a wholly unique process; rather, it has much in common with any other thoughtfully-crafted teaching and learning strategy. Jumpstart seeks to support instructors in implementing an approach to service-learning that is informed by a solid understanding of the pedagogy. It is through this combination that Jumpstart service-learning can best fulfill its potential as a vehicle for student learning and community impact.
This chapter will provide an overview of an approach to instructional design that can guide your integration of service-learning; you may find it relevant to other aspects of your teaching as well. Topics in this chapter include:
- Teachers as Designers – offers five characteristics of teaching as a process of design
- Designing for Learning – offers five characteristics of effective learning processes
- Instructional Design Process – provides a framework for moving step-by-step through a high-level process of integrating service-learning into your course
- Applying this Process to Jumpstart Service-Learning – considers potential Jumpstart instructor responses to each step of this design process and provides a concrete Jumpstart-related example
- Reflection Prompts for the Reader – provides several prompts that will help the reader reflect on the content of this section
