Undergraduate and graduate-level internships are critical experiences for ensuring that students are able to transfer learning to real-world settings. Yet a wide variety exists in internship design and not all experiences are equally educative. For experiential learning to be effective, educators must ensure a tight alignment of learning objectives with field experiences and provide a structured and intentional process to allow learners to construct meaning. This chapter focuses on the graduate Human Development Counselling (HDC) and the undergraduate Human and Organizational Development (HOD) Capstone Internships. These experiences embody the deepest meaning of experiential learning highlighting careful educational design. The chapter offers a description of both internships, examining the unique objectives, challenges, and strengths of each, while demonstrating a shared commitment to best practices in experiential education. This chapter may serve as a model for readers interested in developing their own professional or academic internships.Less

Service-learning is a form of experiential education that combines academic study with community service. Learning occurs as students work with others through applying their academic knowledge to community needs and at the same time, reflecting on their experience and the real-world relevance of their skills. This book describes the development of service learning in Asia around three themes: service-learning and indigenous traditions; service-learning and social justice education; and service-learning and multicultural education. The essays in this collection are multi-disciplinary, ranging from the field of social work to business. The discussions are also comprehensive, covering every dimension of service-learning from curricular designs to learning outcome assessment.Less

This chapter focuses on the Singaporean experience in service-learning, which explores varied curricular designs and ways of learning by doing. The reflections are based on the experiential learning framework of David Kolb, whose theory describes learning as successive stages of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.Less

“Group Work Orientation in the Contemporary Summer Camp” addresses current literature and implications for practice. In recent years, camp social workers have published articles and presented at professional conferences. Among the areas of interest are the following: mission and purpose as applied to camps, intentional use of activities (including nondeliberative practice) as a means to an end, the mutual aid process as an inherent part of camp life, stages of group development as important knowledge for camp personnel, social workers’ leadership role in training and supervising camp staff, and social justice as a core value conveyed by social work-oriented camps. This chapter also describes the unique Group Work Camp, the creation of social group workers intended to educate social work students and new professionals as well as refreshing experienced practitioners. The camp utilizes experiential education to enhance group work skills. The chapter includes one vignette.Less
