Service-learning allows learners to apply classroom theories to
authentic and practical situations by connecting it to the needs
of the local and global community.
Goals of Service-learning:
- involves collaboration
- addresses significant community needs
- enriches the traditional classroom learning
- provides structured time for student reflection
- fosters the development of civic and social responsibility
Service-learning enables students to understand their involvement
and commitment can make a difference in the quality of life in their
community. The connection between service-learning and academic
study is made through reflection activities/journals, small group
discussions and consultations with faculty. Reflection allows the
student to internalize his/her learning and to develop a sense of
purpose about their relationship to the larger community.
