"A groundbreaking book that unearths what all service-learning researchers and practitioners need to know."
--Andrew Furco, director, Service-Learning Research & Development Center, University of California at Berkeley
This timely volume is the first to explore service-learning as a valid learning activity. The authors present extensive data from two groundbreaking national research projects. Their studies include a large national survey focused on attitudes and perceptions of learning, intensive student interviews before and after the service semester, and additional comprehensive interviews to explore student views of the service-learning process.
