Enhancing Undergraduate Student Self-efficacy and Learning with a Community Service learning (CSL) Nutrition Workshop Assignment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Community service learning (CSL) activities in undergraduate programs are associated with improvements in self-efficacy (confidence related to performing a specific task) and academic achievement. This study aimed to understand the impact of a CSL assignment on self-efficacy related to teaching community members about evidence-based nutrition and on the overall learning experience. Students were invited to participate in this mixed-methods study (surveys and focus groups), and the results indicate that the CSL activity not only increased students’ self-efficacy related to nutrition science communication, but also gave students a greater feeling of connection to their community and an opportunity to practice skills needed for future careers. Les activités d’apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire dans les programmes de premier cycle sont liées à une amélioration de l’autoefficacité (la confiance en sa propre capacité d’accomplir une tâche particulière) et du rendement universitaire. La présente étude vise à comprendre l’incidence d’un devoir d’apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire sur l’expérience d’apprentissage dans son ensemble et sur l’autoefficacité au sujet de la nutrition s’appuyant sur des données probantes – par rapport aux membres du corps enseignant. Les étudiants étaient invités à participer à une étude employant des méthodes mixtes (des sondages et des groupes de discussion). Les résultats indiquent que les activités d’apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire augmentent l’autoefficacité en matière de communication de la science de la nutrition. Qui plus est, ces activités donnent aux étudiants un sentiment accru d’appartenance à leur communauté ainsi qu’une occasion de mettre en pratique les compétences requises dans leur future carrière.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
