Service Learning at a Glance e-bog

Service Learning at a Glance involves the dissemination of recent findings from empirical research and practical samples of service-learning programs in higher education to better identify the significant drivers of service-learning critical pedagogy. Service-learning is an immersive and experiential learning experience that combines academic course work and community service, underscoring reciprocal learning and sustainable and reflective practices to address community needs, while developing students' citizenship skills and critical thinking for social justice. While much has been written about service-learning adoption in higher education settings, this book seeks to demonstrate its broad relevance within a multidisciplinary context. Unique about Service Learning at a Glance is that it offers an "e;international"e; point of view by including learning experiences and research work from different regions around the world. We believe the comprehensive knowledge offered through this book will advance service-learning research and support the adoption of engaging service-learning experiences and practices in higher education settings, which will be valuable for researchers and practitioners in many national and cultural contexts. Furthermore, we hope that future research will enlarge upon experiences and research provided in this book to continue to build more international service-learning projects across the world.
