Toward a New Framework of "Server" and "Served": De(and Re)constructing Reciprocity in Service-Learning Pedagogy
Henry, Sue Ellen; Breyfogle, M. Lynn
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, v18 n1 p27-35 2006
This article problemetizes the contemporary view of reciprocity and offers a philosophical foundation for an enriched view based on Dewey's critique of early stimulus-response theory in psychology and his view of democracy. We situate the argument for reconsidering the provider/recipient model of service learning in the context of a collaboration between a university and school serving children 5-9 years old while implementing an after-school tutoring program. We develop and describe the traditional and enriched models of reciprocity and create a vision for the future establishment of similar collaborations.
