A volume in Advances in Service-Learning Research Series Editor
Shelley H. Billig, RMC Research Corporation, Denver Research on
service-learning and community engagement has exploded over the
past decade. It is a field now characterized by increasing
methodological and theoretical sophistication, vast quantitative
and qualitative studies, interdisciplinary research, myriad
subjects, and the internationalization of scholarship. The papers
in this volume were selected from nearly 100 presentations made at
the 2009 annual conference of the International Association for
Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement held in
Ottawa, Canada's national capital. The conference theme, Research
for What? emphasized fundamental questions, namely: to what extent
is rigorous research uncovering best practices in, and
demonstrating the positive results of, service-learning on
teaching, learning and building better communities? The papers
examine such themes through lenses that include the application of
theory to practice, K-12 and university-based service-learning,
interdisciplinary initiatives, and international service-learning.
The introduction provides an overview of the very recent, but
remarkable, growth of service-learning in Canada, and the
conclusion, written by the recipient of the Association's annual
Distinguished Researcher Award, discusses major developments, and
continuing challenges, in service-learning research.
