Description

The practice of Service-Learning as a teaching methodology has varying approaches across learning communities. This is to be expected of a methodology that recognizes diversities, context-based learning, and meaning-making in teaching-learning. As a communal learning enterprise, how can learning be enhanced in Service-Learning? How can Service-Learning aid the formation of a learning community? Based on her observation of the Service-Learning practices in the Asia-Pacific, the author proposes ways to maximize learning outcomes through partnerships and building of alliances.
