Experiential learning is a useful teaching tool in the undergraduate community psychology classroom. In addition to improving student outcomes, experiential learning is particularly relevant for community psychology, as it aligns with several core values of the field and can prompt not only student learning, but also civic engagement, social justice, and community betterment. In this article, we provide an overview of the themed issue on "Experiential Teaching Practices in Undergraduate Community Psychology." The issue contains a variety of experiential teaching examples that fall into three clusters: (a) individual and group service-learning exercises; (b) using community experiences to augment in-class learning outside of a service-learning context; and (c) ways of having students draw on prior out-of-class or in-class community experiences to increase student understanding.
体验式学习是本科社区心理学课堂中一种有用的教学工具。除了提高学生成绩外，体验式学习与社区心理学特别相关，因为它符合该领域的几个核心价值观，不仅可以促进学生学习，还能推动公民参与、社会正义和社区改善。在本文中，我们概述了关于“本科社区心理学中的体验式教学实践”的专题。该专题包含各种体验式教学示例，这些示例分为三类：(a) 个人和小组服务学习练习；(b) 在非服务学习背景下利用社区体验来增强课堂学习；(c) 让学生借鉴之前的课外或课堂社区体验以加深理解的方法。
