O knihe

A volume in Advances in Service-Learning Research
Series Editor Shelley H. Billig, RMC Research Corporation, Denver
In this volume in the IAP series on Advances in Service-Learning Research, top researchers present
recent work studying aspects of program development, student and community outcomes, and future research
directions in the field of service-learning and community engagement. These chapters, selected through a
rigorous peer review process, are based on presentations made at the annual meeting of the International
Research Conference on Service-Learning and Community Engagement, held in October, 2008, in New
Orleans.
This volume features efforts in research and practice to support and expand service-learning and engaged scholarship in both K-12 and
higher education. Models of effective partnerships between institutions of higher education and their community partners are developed in chapters
looking at relationships between campus and community in terms of partnership identity or in terms of shared understanding by campus and
community partners. Outcomes for K-12 and college students engaged in service learning are the focus of several studies. The impact of high-quality
service-learning on K-12 student achievement and school-related behaviors is described. Racial identity theory provides a useful frame for
understanding developing student conceptualizations, while another chapter emphasizes aspects of self-exploration and relationship building as bases
for gains in student attitudes and skills. In a final section, chapters deal with service-learning and community engagement as a coherent research field
with a distinct identity, reviewing current work and proposing directions for future research.
