About this title

Synopsis

This issue examines service learning-the emerging form of higher education bringing together students, teachers, and community partners in ways that foster the student's responsible citizenship and promotes a lifelong involvement in civic and social issues. It also demonstrates how institutions can create effective service-learning programs that couple academic work in the classroom with students' service to an organization in the field. Authors explore successful service-learning programs in a variety of settings, from liberal arts colleges to research institutions, and offer clear, practical advice on such matters as finding community partners, reaching diverse populations, assessment concerns, and integrating service-learning and research. This issue shall serve as an invaluable resource for educators interested in this relatively new but challenging pedagogy.
