摘要：Service-learning is an instructional method in which students learn course content by actively participating in thoughtfully organized service experiences related to the content.Effectively linking service-learning to course content not only offers students a powerful opportunity to maximize academic learning, but also promotes their personal growth and instills a commitment to lifelong, civic engagement.Service-learning was integrated into an upper level undergraduate course, Adolescent Development.In addition to completing the traditional course work, students also completed a service-learning experience at a community agency that served adolescents.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the service-learning component, students were surveyed at the end of the semester about their service-learning experiences.Almost all students agreed they had learned more about course concepts as a result of their service-learning experience, and the majority felt their service-learning activity provided a needed service to the agency and community.
