Relevance of service-learning in college courses.
Abstract
This study analyzed student perceptions of the academic and social relevance of service-learning pedagogy, and how teacher adherence to best practices in service-learning may influence those perceptions. A total of 566 students in 19 classes that incorporated service-learning at a large university participated in the study. Survey results indicated that participation in service-learning courses impacted student perceptions of course content relevance. Analysis also suggested that faculty understanding and sophistication regarding service-learning impacted student perceptions and that faculty training and adherence to best practices is essential.
