Academic Service Learning: Its Meaning and Relevance.

Weigert, Kathleen Maas

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n73 p3-10 Spr 1998

Academic service learning contributes to the renewal and satisfaction of faculty, offers new opportunities to think more consciously and creatively about relationships (faculty/student, disciplinary/interdisciplinary knowledge, campus/community), presents opportunities to contribute to the field's development, and offers a vehicle to faculty, students, and community partners for responding collaboratively to critical issues.
