COURSEWORK COMPONENTS
Community Services ( Group Project ) – 50%
( LO1: apply communication skills in various situations. ; LO4: analyse information gathered as a means of learning in the process of lifelong learning. )
Community services is the practice of altruism ( unselfishness ) within one's community. People become involved in community service for many reasons: for some, serving community is an altruistic act, for others it is a punishment.
Community services therefore refers to projects that members of certain youth organizations, such as Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, Religions’ (such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islamic and etc) activities, NGO’s activities, the Knights of Columbus, Key Club International, and some high school students perform. It is also an alternative sentencing technique in a justice system. And at times groups of people will commit to perform service to the community as part of the gift economy.
Mandatory Community Research has recently increased in many schools in the advanced countries such as United States. A study was done that correlates community services with academic success; it was found that there is a strong positive association between students who maintain a weekly community services record and their GPA than those that don't at all.
Examples of community services projects include:
Collecting items for charity such as clothes, food, or furniture.
Getting involved with Habitat for Humanity
Cleaning roadside verges.
Helping the elderly in nursing homes service.
Tutoring children with learning disabilities.
Participating in school activities that benefit the wider community.
Others …
