"I Want to See Some Kind of Growth out of Them": What the Service Ethic Means to Teacher-Education Students.
Serow, Robert C.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v31 n1 p27-48 Spr 1994

Interview data suggest that students interpret the service ethic chiefly in terms of promoting student academic and personal interest. (SLD)
