Seeing the Other, Crossing the Boundaries: An Introduction to Service-learning Courses in Landscape Architecture in the American Universities

"服务学习"是当代高等教育连接社区的一场改革运动,大学师生同社区有效合作力求共赢,20世纪末已逐步引入美国风景园林教育领域。它以启发、赋权为主,并不以利用为导向,重视浸入式体验,承认并正视差异,不断反思各方的职责及相互之间的关系,鼓励多元文化间学习、互惠和交流,兼顾社会、政治和道德等议题,为面向日益世界性和多元化社会的风景园林教育提供了新的思路。

＂Service-learning＂ is a contemporary reform movement to connect university academic education to community. It has been introduced into the higher education programs in landscape architecture in the United States since late 20th century. The university faculty members and students have effectively collaborated with community partners towards mutual benefits. This pedagogy challenges the traditional practice-and problem-based learning model between professional teachers and students. Seth, ice-learning is oriented towards enlightenment and empowering, instead of exploitation. It emphasizes emersion experiences and acknowledges the differences. Partners reflect their roles and interrelationship continuously. Service-learning encourages intercultural learning, reciprocity and exchange. It also incorporates social, political and ethical issues. In general, service-learning brings a new perspective for current landscape architecture education, which services the increasingly cosmopolitan and multi-cultural society.
