Service Learning

An Innovative Pedagogy for the Psychology Curriculum

International Handbook of Psychology Learning and Teaching

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE))

Abstract

Service learning (SL) is a high-impact pedagogy that integrates academic material, relevant community-based service activities, and critical reflection to achieve academic, social responsibility, and personal learning objectives in order to develop psychologically literate citizens. SL enhances knowledge and fosters social responsibility in students to democratically address challenges in diverse societies. SL rests on the sound pedagogical principles of active and experiential learning. This chapter focuses on the undergraduate psychology major; however, similar principles can be applied to other educational levels. Reaching educational goals is contingent on applying 11 essential elements to SL course design, implementation, and assessment, from establishing partnerships with the community to designing student reflection activities and celebrating their learning. This chapter highlights themes and issues in research, core findings, and trends, as well as challenges, lessons learned, and implications for learning, teaching, and community engagement. Finally, key resources are identified for SL.
