Measuring Social Capital as an Outcome of Service Learning
D'Agostino, Maria J.
Innovative Higher Education, v35 n5 p313-328 Nov 2010
Service-learning has been put forth as one of the proposed solutions to increasing social capital. However, service-learning research has not significantly addressed the impact of service learning on social capital. Unlike most previous studies, this research used quantitative analysis to measure the effect of university service-learning programs on social capital by examining the question: "What impact do service-learning programs have on social capital post-graduation?" This study showed that service learning addresses the civic engagement problem by providing evidence suggesting that service learning predicts social capital post-graduation.
