5th Dimension/UCLinks Program
Abstract/Description
The Fifth Dimension/UCLinks Program is a network of (mostly) after-school programs that connects community children with undergraduates from local colleges and universities in a mixed activity system that combines education, play, and peer interaction. This work has been in progress for 26 years.
The four overarching goals of the Fifth Dimension/UCLinks Program are to: (a) provide contexts for children to master knowledge and a wide range of skills important to their lives: (b) to provide settings in which undergraduates from disciplines such as teacher education, developmental psychology, and communications have opportunities to connect theory with practice and deliver services to children: (C) to create sustainable activity systems in different institutional settings that increase our understanding of the combination of social processes that constitute sustainability of successful social innovations: (C) to deepen our understanding of how the social and individual create each other in culturally organized social practices.
