"Coming Full Circle: A Guide to Service-Learning" is a unique,
stand-alone text for courses that connect service to the community
to the acquisition of academic knowledge courses that ask students
to venture into the outside world, and engage in the problems and
projects of the communities surrounding their schools. The book
begins with an explanation of service-learning, its roots, and
definitions of useful terms. The three subsequent chapters discuss
reflection, culture, and reciprocity, and how these apply to
real-world service environments. Later chapters address the guiding
issues of service-learning, including:
- Diversity
- Social Welfare
- Environment
- Education
- Social Change
- Responsive Citizenship
The book concludes with an epilogue that encourages students to
reflect on what they have learned and experienced. While other
texts focus on theory, "Coming Full Circle" emphasizes the how-to
of the discipline, providing students with a clear roadmap for
involvement in service fields. Written in a student-friendly,
accessible style, the book combines academic instruction with
participation through service. It encourages students to reflect on
their service experiences, and to grow as responsive citizens. More
than a textbook, "Coming Full Circle" is also an effective aid to
self-awareness and personal development. "Coming Full Circle" can
be used in sociology and education courses, as well as in classes
dealing with human development. It is also an excellent
supplementary text for psychology and political science courses.
