Abstract:

The relationship between theory and research is critical to improving the knowledge base of service-learning. The nature of theory and how theory enhances the development of research projects are discussed. Psychological theories illustrate how theories from cognate areas can enhance research on service-learning, better inform teaching in general, and contribute to the knowledge base in disciplines.
