Infos

This practical guide assists university faculty in developing and implementing service-learning courses and projects across multiple disciplines. It examines how embedding academic service-learning projects into the core curricula benefits not only the students, but also their universities and communities. The book describes ways in which service learning becomes a powerful teaching method using step-by-step explanations, real-world examples, and instructor checklists and handouts. Chapters detail how to integrate academic service-learning projects into classroom pedagogy and evaluate student experience.

Key areas of coverage include:

• Strategies for ensuring that students engage with academic service-learning projects from the initial stages through completion.
• Guidance on embedding an academic service-learning curriculum into traditional coursework to supplement students’ textbook knowledge and classroom experiences to address real-world problems in the community.
• Research confirming the ways in which students learn more and score higher on end-of-the-semester tests when courses incorporate academic service-learning projects.
• Steps to incorporate service-learning projects across various disciplines and coursework to enrich student learning and produce positive outcomes for universities and communities.

Service Learning in Higher Education is an essential resource for professors and graduate students as well as teachers and educational professionals in such varied fields as school and clinical child psychology, educational psychology, social work, pedagogy, educational practice and policy, sociology, anthropology, and all related disciplines.
