Linking research and educational practice for the benefit of both
is not a new idea. If practice such as service-learning is a bold
departure from the status quo, however, research is not just
beneficial, it is critical. If schools are to become laboratories
of democracy and entrepreneurship, and if students are to become
engaged as partners in renewal of their communities, a research
case must be made for service-learning. Does learning take place?
Will other kinds of learning suffer? What kinds of practice are
most effective? Clearly, solid research is essential if this
transforming way of teaching and learning is to be fully integrated
into American schooling and youth development institutions.
The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) took a first step
toward joining service-learning practice with research in 1983. In
1991, NYLC created a center which initiated and encouraged program
evaluation, formative research that informs and improves practice,
and summative studies that measure results. This volume grew out of
a National Service-Learning Conference--an annual event convened by
the NYLC. A day long research seminar at the conference brought
together researchers to discuss the latest developments among
themselves and with practitioners. Impressive in their range and
rigor, their papers offer documentation and analysis useful to an
emerging research knowledge base. It is a starting point for the
evidence needed to firmly establish service-learning for K-12 age
people as a widely accepted way of teaching and learning.
