Field-Based Learning in Family Life Education: Facilitating High-Impact Experiences in Undergraduate Family Science Programs

Presented by leading scholars in the field of family life education, this book provides successful models for field-based learning experiences in Family Life Education.

Each chapter offers an overview of the implementation details, including key points in developing plans. In addition, each chapter is grounded in previous scholarship and identifies how the elements of high-impact practices are addressed in the "real world." Contributors share their experiences implementing service learning, internships/practica, and other educational platforms outside the classroom walls.

Readers will find the book addresses both specific content areas within family life education (such as Human Growth and Development across the Lifespan or Family Life Education Methodology), as well as general course management strategies (such as managing frequent feedback or high-enrollment classes).
