 | What is Service-Learning?
- Hands on learning integrated into a course
- Working with community partners to benefit the common good
- Reflection to connect service to academic and civic learning goals
Service-learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students fulfill the learning goals of their academic courses while serving the community. Service-learning emphasizes hands-on experiences that address real world concerns as a venue for educational growth. The service experience provides a context for testing, observing, or trying out discipline-based theories, concepts, or skills. Likewise, the academic context enriches the service experience by raising questions about real-world concerns and providing a forum for probing these concerns in-depth. |
