Books in the Advances in Service-Learning Research series

A multidisciplinary investigation of service-learning. The papers are divided into sections on: dimensions of service-learning research; theoretical perspectives on service-learning; service-learning and the disciplines; the impacts on service-learning participants; and future directions.

Critical inquiry is central to the ethos of service-learning pedagogy, a pedagogy that is built upon community partner participation and active reflection. Within higher education, service-learning offers an important opportunity to enhance practice within the community, allowing students to engage stakeholders and youth.

Service-learning is a powerful method of teaching and learning that has been used effectively for more than two decades. This volume explores three broad areas of service-learning research and practice that reflect broader discussions of the role of pedagogy in today's educational reform efforts: TeacherEducation, Crossing Boundaries and New Paradigms/Conceptual Frameworks.
