Description
The purpose of this volume is to improve service learning research and practice through strengthening its theoretical base. Contributing authors include both well-known and emerging service learning and community engagement scholars, as well as scholars from other fields. The authors bring theoretical perspectives from a wide variety of disciplines to bear as they critically review past research, describe assessment methods and instruments, develop future research agendas, and consider implications of theory-based research for enhanced practice.
The volume opens with chapters focused on high quality research, and is then divided into five major sections, each of which includes topical chapters. The section on research related to students comprises chapters that focus on cognitive processes, academic learning, civic learning, personal development, and intercultural competence. The faculty section presents chapters on faculty development, faculty motivation, and faculty learning. The community section addresses community development, and the role of nonprofit organizations in service learning. The fourth section, on institutions, examines the institutionalization of service learning, engaged departments, and institutional leadership. The final section on partnerships in service learning includes chapters on conceptualizing and measuring the quality of partnerships, inter-organizational partnerships, and student partnerships.
This volume constitutes a rich resource that suggests new approaches to conceptualizing, understanding, implementing, assessing, and studying service learning. Each chapter offers recommendations for future research.
Research on Service Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and Assessment will be of interest to both new and veteran service learning instructors seeking to enhance their practice by integrating what has been learned in terms of teaching, assessment, and research.
