Abstract

Eight students enrolled in an Agriscience II classroom in a rural town located Midwest state participated in the study. The purpose of this study was to determine if students' perception of his/her role in the community changed as a result of participating in a service learning project in an Agriscience II instructional class in an agricultural education program. The study was conducted with the students' everyday over a two week period in mid May of the 2008-2009 school year. The data collection tools that were used to assess the change in students' perception were a Likert scale, a pre-intervention writing prompt, and a post service learning reflection. The results of the study suggested that students' perception of their role in the community might have changed due to the intervention.
