Description
Book SynopsisRole of Education and Pedagogical Approach in Service Learning is a collection of case studies and interventions adopted by academics across the globe to explain and explore the concepts of social responsibility in education, social justice and civility.
In the context of virtual learning spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, it might be viewed as increasingly difficult for students to explore opportunities for mitigating real world societal problems. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how academics have showcased, however, that online learning doesn’t mean an end to service learning. Delving into the enhancement potential of online learning, the authors uncover how students can continue to be agents of social change in our more virtual world. Describing the concept of service learning as a model and as a pedagogical tool, the collection offers a framework for service learning that can be inculcated across the higher education sector.
Trade ReviewThis edited book is a compilation of chapters from different parts of the world on service-learning approaches in the context of higher education. The chapters illustrate how service learning supports individual growth and enhances professional practice as well as provide clear evidence of impacts on individuals (students, staff and community members), the university and the community from recent studies.
