Constructive Alignment
Reiter
Please note that in S-L, the academic performance of students is assessed, not the civic engagement throughout the service element. The evaluation criteria should be transparent. Constructive Alignment is a teaching model, which can help you when planning courses by coordinating learning objectives with teaching and learning methods, as well as the final assessment (Biggs, 1996).
For example, if the learning objective for the students is to be able to write well-informed and structured blog articles, teaching them numerous facts about writing alone will not suffice. Instead, they will need to practice writing and researching facts.
For a detailed explanation of the concept, please watch this OER by the colleague Rafael Klöber at the University of Heidelberg.
