New Perspectives in Service-Learning: Research to Advance the Field

by Marshall Welch (Editor), Shelley H. Billig

Service-learning, a teaching and learning approach that uses the provision of community service as a vehicle for learning, continues to be of interest to those working in K-12 and higher education. Billig, director of a national study of the impact of service-learning, and Welch (service learning, University of Utah) present selected papers from a November 2003 conference, shedding light on foundations of service-learning, its impact, the institutionalization of service- learning, and reflections on the future.
