Service-learning in doctoral training & education.
Abstract
As the number of Ph.D. graduates entering non-traditional academic and non-academic careers increases, faculty and administrators must look for ways to enhance student training outside the typical realm of teaching and research. In this paper, we discuss how service learning can help answer this call. We begin by reviewing some of the common criticisms of current doctoral education and follow up by discussing how service learning may help fill current gaps in graduate training. Finally, we discuss barriers to implementing service-learning in doctoral-level curriculum.
