Community
Immersion
Community engagement pedagogies, often called “service
learning,” are ones that combine learning goals and community
service in ways that can enhance both student growth and the
common good. In the words of the National Service Learning
1 Clearinghouse or any type of community immersion, it is “a
teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful
community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the
learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen
communities.”
Community
Immersion
“a form of experiential education where learning occurs
through a cycle of action and reflection as students, seek to
achieve real objectives for the community and deeper
understanding and skills for themselves. In the process,
students link personal and social development with academic and
cognitive development. Experience enhances understanding;
understanding leads to more effective action.”
Community
Immersion
Typically, community engagement is incorporated into a
course or series of courses by way of a project that has both
learning and community action goals. This project is designed
via collaboration between faculty and community partners, such
2 as non-governmental organizations or government agencies. The
project asks students to apply course content to community-
based activities. This gives students experiential
opportunities to learn in real world contexts and develop
skills of community engagement, while affording community
partners opportunities to address significant needs.
Operationalizing the
Community Immersion
Make sure that you able to provide all the
necessary tools/equipment and materials or
alternatives in order to perform the
community immersion.
Operationalizing the
Community Immersion
Always refer to Do's and Don'ts of a good
community immersion worker.
Operationalizing the
Community Immersion
Follow safety protocol not only for the
immersion worker but also for the
participants and respondents.
Operationalizing the
Community Immersion
Imbody the the mission vision of the work
immersion and avoid doing it for your own
sake.
Operationalizing the
Community Immersion
When problem arises, solve it as soon as
possible ro avoid further damage.
Monitoring the Community
Immersion
This is focus on monitoring and assessing
the result of the community immersion
during and after the work.
Monitoring the Community
Immersion
Result monitoring is a systematic and continuous
procedure in checking programs and projects done
during the NSTP community immersion. It is an
awareness of a state of project. Monitoring of
projects is done consistently and by certain
measures. It is an observation of several
changes that occur over time.
Monitoring the Community
Immersion
In example, trainees would take note of whether there is
an increasing participation among the community people in
the series of projects that they conduct. Or it could be
that trainees would note of how much they are able to
spend for a single sub-activity with regards to how cost-
efficient their general activities are. Monitoring
provide a certain degree of background knowledge on what
else to change, to adjust and to adapt over the course of
time that the project is being implemented.

Significance of Monitoring NSTP Projects
Monitoring NSTP projects is very essential to determine:
1. Whether the inputs are achieved on time or as planned;
2. Whether the activities were conducted as scheduled; and
3. Whether the outputs were produce on time or outputs
were in right quantity and quality as specified on the
project design.
Monitoring the Community
Immersion
The products of monitoring are summarized progress
reports that are capable of triggering timely managements
interventions. It serves as a means of keeping track of
the status of the projects.

Who will monitor NSTP projects during community
immersions?
People involved in monitoring are summarized progress
reports done by the trainees taking community

officials concerned, partner agencies involved in the
projects and other who are not involved but are concerned
with the project.

To ensure success of the NSTP projects, monitoring plan is
necessary as a means of getting data for information
and input for decision making.
It includes:
1. Data/information needed in rational decision making;
2. Personnel involved in the execution of the project,
collection of data and problem identification;
3. Know about data are reported and to be reported; and
4. Levels of implementation.

Projects/Activities
In making the monitoring plan, specific activities in the
implementation of the project are essentially identified as
basis of specifying the detailed schedule of the project.

Tools Needed for Monitoring Purposes
Professional community workers do not dare rely on their
good memory to record their findings in the community. They
use some tools and processes to record, monitor and validate
the soundness of the information and activities they have.
Some of the helpful tools in monitoring NSTP projects

Evaluating the
Community Immersion
In every project for NSTP, its activities require an
effective system which provides information on the extent which
projects are achieving their objectives. The activities are
checked if it is conducted in an economical and timely manner.
The activities contribution in the attainment of the total
objectives of the program is very essential. Any information can
be provided in both monitoring and evaluation system,
which provides information, required by the planners,
policy makers, trainors and the trainees involved in the
program.

Evaluating the
Community Immersion
Evaluation as defined by a systematic assessment of the value
or worth of something. This something could be the NSTP projects
or other programs, a technique used in the fieldwork or a
situation prevalent in a particular community.
To NSTP trainees and trainors, evaluation means the value or
meat of his teaching-learning activities. Questions asked mostly
are: “Did I meet the objectives? Are the strategies appropriate
in meeting the objectives? Do the results equate with the inputs
spent?”

Importance of Evaluation
1. It provides trainors/trainees and other people an idea of the
activities’ progress and accomplishments and how they fare well
in the achievement of goals.
2. Results serve as basis for empowerment in carrying out
activities.
3. It provides an avenue of making program revision and
adjustments.
4. It provides opportunity for the trainees to experience and
develop skills in conducting evaluation.

What to Evaluate?
There are five aspects of evaluating the NSTP Project in order
to be successful namely:
1. Effort
In measuring the efforts exerted in the project, the trainees use
the input evaluation type which identifies available resources
both in human (personal), material resources such as
money, educational tools, methods or techniques, and the
activities undertaken.

2. Effect
In assessing effect, trainees and like measure the outcomes of
the efforts made.
3. Adequacy
In measuring adequacy, trainees need to look into the
effectiveness of the project in terms of the number of clients
being served.

4. Efficiency
This is done by determining the cost benefit analysis by the
trainors of the trainees, and identifying the benefits derived
from the program.
5. Process
In evaluating the NSTP Project, one should answer the questions
on how and why the project worked or did not work. It also
responds to the question on how the different project inputs can
be utilized to arrive at good outcomes.

How are the NSTP Projects Evaluated?
1. Identification of the objectives.
- It must be in behavioral terms.
- It must include the domains of learning which served as basis of assessing
their knowledge, skills and attitudes.
2. Examine program activities and implementation procedures.
- What are the activities identified to meet the objectives?
- How are these activities undertaken?
- Did it achieve the objectives of the program?
3. Indicators of expected outcome.
- Are the methods/approaches relevant to the project?
- Are the materials appropriate for the activity?
- Are there changes among clients on the following knowledge?
- Attitude (values, belief, habits, practices)?
- Skills?

When Do We Evaluate?
Evaluation must be undertaken before, during and after the
project.
Pre-actively evaluation is done before the conduct of the project
to provide baseline information on knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and other characteristics of the target clients. Specifically, it
provides data on the clients’ needs, strength and weakness
regarding the project.

Evaluation of an ongoing project is necessary to time out how the
project is progressing. It answers questions like:
Is the project executed on planned? Are there problems in
the program implementation? What problems have been
encountered? What solutions or actions are being taken to attain
project objectives?
Post-evaluation of activity determines whether project
objectives have been attained or are the clients show
measurable gain in knowledge, attitude, and skills. It also
ascertains the amount of change that has taken place in the
clients.
