O knihe

A volume in Advances in Service-Learning Research
Series Editor Virginia M. Jagla, National Louis University;
Service-learning is a powerful method of teaching and learning that has been used effectively for
more than two decades. Its efficacy has been researched in a variety of ways and this volume continues
to expand that research base. In particular, in this volume, Service-Learning Pedagogy: How
Does It Measure Up?, we explore three broad areas of service-learning research and practice that
reflect broader discussions of the role of pedagogy in today's educational reform efforts: Teacher
Education, Crossing Boundaries: Deepening Relationships in Service-Learning and New Paradigms/
Conceptual Frameworks.
Many have called for more rigorous methods when researching service-learning pedagogy. That has been the major impetus for this
volume. We seek to generate knowledge regarding service-learning pedagogy, while developing theories about it. We surface some
elusive affective characteristics of the pedagogy, which we know has the power to produce transformational learning. To this end, the
authors who have contributed to this volume effectively add to the growing body of knowledge in the field and help us get closer to
understanding the extent to which service-learning does and does not measure up.
