Teaching citizenship through service-learning.
Abstract
Academic service-learning has been described as a way to respond to the continual concerns regarding the loss of a sense of community in this country. This paper will discuss this pedagogy and present the results of a qualitative research study that explored the citizenship-related perceptions, experiences, and reflections of students who participated in a service-learning project for a business management course in 2003 and 2004. The paper will also provide implications for faculty interested in facilitating learning through this teaching methodology.
