Service-Learning
is a pedagogy
that integrates
community-based
learning
experiences
with the
academic
curriculum
to enhance
student
learning
and address
community
issues.
This form
of experiential
learning
emphasizes
analysis
and reflection,
and allows
students
to meet
their learning
goals while
engaged
in projects
identified
by community
organizations
in collaboration
with faculty.
Service-Learning
fosters
the interaction
of experiences
with disciplinary
knowledge
and theory-based
scholarship.
As an instructional
approach,
Service-Learning
enhances
students'
knowledge
of academic
disciplines,
expands
understanding
of self,
and links
learning
to the current
and future
civic roles
students
will assume
in a multicultural
democracy.
