3. Acting on Learning
When students act on their learning, the school experience is made relevant and the seeds of hope through active citizenship are planted.
Acting on learning: moves beyond investigation of an issue to identifying solutions and working towards a desired change—in personal lifestyle, in school, in the community, and on the planet. (Laing, 1998, 170) The premise is - if something is worth knowing, it is worth acting upon.
- Action projects are practical, real and are relevant to the students involved. They are not planned simply as a learning exercise.
- They include community service ranging from volunteering to service learning.
- Through action projects, skill, knowledge and value expectations are addressed.
