Description
In the effort to augment teacher candidate education beyond text-based direct instruction, universities and teacher preparation programs are incorporating more field-based interactions through which teacher candidates can master skills and reinforce pedagogy through experience. The term "service-learning" was first used by the Southern Regional Education Board in 1969 to describe "the accomplishment of tasks that meet genuine human needs in combination with conscious educational growth" (Staton, Giles & Cruz, 1999). Congress defined the term formally in 1990 as experiences that promote learning through participation in activities that address community needs. In 1993 Congress expanded the definition to include activities that provide opportunities for reflection and compassion building. The overarching goal of service-learning should be to enhance the text-based and direct instruction knowledge with authentic practices in real life environments (Astin, 1996; Brown, 2004; Checkoway, 1996; Danahue, Bowyer, Rosenberg, 2003; Eyler & Giles, 1999; Stanton, 1990).
