Where's the Learning in Service Learning?

This book addresses the potential of service-learning to enhance the learning process. The authors show that cognitive learning and affective service can be closely connected and thereby mutually reinforcing and that an affective outcome like commitment to service also has important cognitive components. It make these points, the authors use quantitative and qualitative research evidence gleaned from surveys of more than 1500 students together with a number of personal interviews, including problem-solving interviews completed by students before and after service-learning and one-time interviews where other students evaluated their experiences with reflection during service-learning. Includes FIPSE survey instrument.
