An Adventure in Service-Learning argues that education can provide
not just knowledge and skills but it can also encourage the
development of values and responsibility Service-Learning is a
teaching method unlike any other. It allows students to use their
classroom theory to help others through relevant service or
volunteering activity. In so doing, it gives students the
opportunity to use the experiences of helping others to strengthen
their understanding of subject material. Service-learning is like a
bridge that connects education with the outside world. It breathes
life and clarity into any subject and better prepares students for
life after college. An Adventure in Service-Learning is a well
written and easy to read book. It introduces the newcomer to
service-learning and provides the seasoned practitioner with an
important analysis of this most interesting of teaching methods.
Its discussion of learning and the role of higher education will
interest educationalists and its consideration of service will be
important to those who are concerned about community. A passionate
belief in education and its possibilities permeates An Adventure in
Service-Learning. The book examines service-learning in project
management, leadership and management consultancy and provides
readers with an understanding of how the method can work in any
subject or discipline. It clarifies the need for community and
discusses the nature and possibilities of what it means to be
human. The book will help to renew and reinvigorate practitioners,
policy makers and the education system as a whole.
