This work is designed as a working resource for academicians and
practitioners involved with community health work at the higher
educational level. Faculty, students and community participants are
the focus of this collection whose purpose is community
health-based service learning - where and when coming out to the
community as caring catalysts is central to a higher education
mission. All these catalysts must see themselves as partners in a
service learning community of practice; They must embrace the
analysis of self-reflection toward cultural competence, and thy
must engage in data and diagnostic decision-making through action
research or service learning in community health intervention.
Service learning literacy" is defined as skill, behaviour,
attitude, knowledge or awareness that is manifested, within the
community health worker or researcher, as a result of or outcome
from a faculty led, community service learning activity or
experience as part of a student's academic program of study in
higher learning. Higher education, through civic engagement and
community service learning, must combine efforts with local and
regional communities to help eradicate health disparity, eliminate
health vulnerability, optimize healthy life style, promote
inter-generational and cyclical health and wellness and maximize
health care access to the under-served and uninsured. All these
aspects of community health work are dealt with by contributions
from scholars and practitioners involved in the community health
movement. Contributing Editors include Dr.s Tracy Mims, Jerry
Watson and Karen C. Wilson. Contributors include Professors Richard
Schmuck, Joseph Martin Stevenson, Ricky Boggan, Chris Ann Arthur,
John J. Green and Dr D. Melissa Phillips. The first volume of the
book conceptualized specific frameworks in the context of action
research, faculty reflections about action research, general
rubrics for action research, overlapping action-research methods,
scope of both proactive and responsive action research, and
collaborative processes involving action research. The second
volume deals with broader frameworks relative to service learning
as social work, global perspectives, cultural competence, community
health, environmental justice, hypothetical case scenarios and
presented examples by two of the authors who trained and active
social workers.
