Service-Learning and Mentoring: Effective Pedagogical Strategies
Wells, Carole V.; Grabert, Christy
College Student Journal, v38 n4 p573 Dec 2004
Educational experiences need to (1.) increase student activities inside and outside the classroom; (2.) promote knowledge acquisition and educational performance; (3.) increase group-based and cooperative learning; and, (4.) assist students in developing solutions to real-world, complex problems. To address these issues, this research blended mentoring and service-learning as an active pedagogical strategy to foster civic responsibility, build teamwork and leadership skills, and increase citizenship behaviors among upper level and first-year students.
