In units 1 I have learn what exactly is service learning, service learning can be define as a course-based credit bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organised service activity that meet identified community needs and then reflect on the service in such a way that they gain further understanding of the content. in this unit I have acquired the knowledge that service learning is an engagement of students to participate in the community as part of their studies or programme and then after they have rendered their service in the community they do an introspection of the service they offered, this is called reflection. reflection is the ability to stand back from an experience, in our instance as students from the experience of providing a service to a community, to discover the connection between actions and their effect. I have learning that reflection is cognitive where you think about what did you learned in the service you were providing. reflection is affective where emotion are evoked and also conative. I have learned that when you do reflection you have to find out mistakes and errors and reflect upon them by asking yourself questions such as what went wrong? how are you going to improve next time? and also reflect on the good things that happened when you were doing service learning, for example what positive things did the service provide in the community, and what changes did it brought in people's life. service learning is a positive thing in our studies, it helps us gain a better understanding of what is expected of us in the community as future teachers
