美国高校服务学习对我国的借鉴与启示

The Reference and Enlightenment of Service-Learning in American Universities to China

美国拥有历史悠久的志愿者文化,高校服务学习是将所学专业知识渗透到社会的有效形式,在增强学生公民意识、巩固高校教学成果、助推社区发展等方面发挥着积极作用。我国高校志愿服务活动发展迅速,内涵和形式得到不断丰富。在比较视域下,借鉴美国高校服务学习的先进成果,研究我国高校在志愿服务方面的不足,探索建设适合我国高校志愿服务的运行机制,使志愿服务在高校思想政治教育中发挥积极作用。

The United States has a long history of volunteer culture, and service learning in colleges and universities is an effective form of infiltrating the expertise learned into society, playing an active role in enhancing students’ civic consciousness, consolidating the teaching achievements of colleges and universities, and contributing to community development. China’s university volunteer activities are developing rapidly, and their connotations and forms are constantly enriched. In a comparative perspective, we draw on the advanced achievements of service learning in American colleges and universities, study the shortcomings of volunteering in our colleges and universities, and explore the construction of an operational mechanism suitable for volunteering in our colleges and universities, so that volunteering can play an active role in ideological and political education in colleges and universities.
