Service learning presents an experiential learning opportunity,
particularly for students at higher education institutions. At the
same time, it allows the university to engage communities and apply
its considerable resources addressing community needs. This book,
Educating for Empathy: Service Learning in Public Policy Education,
will introduce readers to the concept of service learning and how
it can be applied to higher education. While service learning has
been recognized as a useful pedagogical tool that can enhance
students' learning experience, the application and practice of
service learning in Singapore has been limited.The book will also
provide a broad overview of service learning in the context of a
service learning initiative that was conducted by the author under
Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Public Policy & Global
Affairs Programme, as well as the author's experience as NTU's
inaugural Community Research Fellow. It will cover the policy,
pedagogical, and socio-political aspects of service learning and
include insights from students and stakeholders. In doing so, it
aims to provide valuable insights into the role of service learning
as a driver of civic education and grassroots volunteerism. The
book will also provide both education and policy professionals a
greater understanding of how their work can intersect, and provide
students with a highly rewarding learning experience.
