Advances in Theory and Methodology %22%20%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)
The field of service-learning and community engagement expands through the creative methods and careful theoretical analysis of researchers.
- Advances in Theory and MethodologyService-learning creates a space for contextualized learning whereby students connect classroom concepts to real-world practices relative to their own frame of reference.
- Advances in Theory and MethodologyGlobal health care challenges necessitate the investigation of new interdisciplinary educational approaches for higher education.
- Advances in Theory and MethodologyThis conceptual article takes a fresh (and perhaps overdue) look at academic service-learning (both K-12 and higher education) through three sociological lenses.
- Advances in Theory and MethodologyTeachers, instructors, and professors need effective methods for improving student reflection. Can the narrative approach help students to reflect on service experiences?
Achieving reciprocity and mutual benefit from service-learning and community engagement collaborations between higher education institutions and their communities is essential to making such ventures impactful, responsible, and sustainable.

This article highlights the efforts of a nursing program at a faith-based university to implement community engagement learning experiences in an undergraduate curriculum.
Faculty Roles and Institutional Issues %22%20%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)
Faculty who practice community engagement are engaged scholars who focus their teaching and research on the renewal of democracy and social and environmental issues of relevance to the broader public.
- Faculty Roles and Institutional IssuesMost studies have focused on the impact of service-learning on students; however, there is a dearth of mixed-methods research examining faculty use of service-learning.
- Faculty Roles and Institutional IssuesThis study examined the relationship between vital mid-career faculty and rates of participation in community engagement at three public comprehensive universities in New England.
- Faculty Roles and Institutional IssuesThe process of institutionalizing service-learning and community engagement and the effects of these approaches on educational organizations has long been a topic in the field’s literature.
- International Service-Learning and Community Engagement ResearchBy sharing knowledge and identifying similarities and common experiences, “the other” ceases to be “foreign” and is recognised as familiar.
- International Service-Learning and Community Engagement ResearchThis study comprised a follow up to a two-week interdisciplinary service-learning (SL) trip to Belize for graduate students from a private Midwestern university.
- International Service-Learning and Community Engagement ResearchSocial justice is most effectively taught through experiential learning, including practicums, internships, and service-learning (SL).
- Student Outcomes (Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education)The cornerstone of the service-learning and community engagement movement is the impact that these pedagogical approaches have on the student.
- Student Outcomes (Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education)The purpose of the study was to compare the emotional experiences of college students enrolled in direct academic service-learning (AS-L) courses with those of students enrolled in indirect AS-L courses.
