Bøker i Advances in Service-Learning Research-serien

Research does not simply inform educators how to create a better pedagogy. Rather, it informs a service-learning practice that can transform both individuals and institutions. This book contains chapters that demonstrate just how far service-learning has come.

Critical inquiry is central to the ethos of service-learning pedagogy, a pedagogy that is built upon community partner participation and active reflection. Within higher education, service-learning offers an important opportunity to enhance practice within the community, allowing students to engage stakeholders and youth.

Service-learning is a powerful method of teaching and learning that has been used effectively for more than two decades. This volume explores three broad areas of service-learning research and practice that reflect broader discussions of the role of pedagogy in today's educational reform efforts: TeacherEducation, Crossing Boundaries and New Paradigms/Conceptual Frameworks.
