Participant Perceptions of a Community College Service-Learning Program
Weglarz, Shirley G.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v28 n2 p123-132 Feb 2004
Although the term "service-learning" was first used in 1966-67, service-learning has only been actively promoted by the American Association of Community Colleges since 1994. Johnson County Community College, a large, suburban community college located in Overland Park, Kansas, has had a formal service-learning program since 1993-94. To plan effectively for the future of the growing program, all faculty and staff participants since the program's inception were surveyed in 1999-2000 to collect basic information along with faculty and student perceptions of the program and to identify needed changes. Survey results revealed that program participants were well-satisfied with the program, although student respondents especially identified possible areas for change.
