“…Students derive the most benefits from SL courses, with research demonstrating a number of positive student outcomes (Bennett & Green, 2001;Eyler, Giles, Stenson, & Gray, 2001;Levesque-Bristol & Richards, 2005). Benefits include academic development (mastery of discipline material, problem solving, critical thinking and reflection, linking theory to practice and improved student-teacher and peer relationships), personal development (personal efficacy, social responsibility, moral development, fewer behavioral problems, leadership, self-confidence, self-esteem, communication skills, social interaction skills, self-awareness, political awareness, identity reaffirmation, feeling pleased with themselves, promotion of intercultural communication, and personal transformation), social development (reducing stereotypes, facilitating racial and cultural understanding, interacting with and accepting diverse cultures, societal awareness, social justice attitudes, developing an other-oriented ethic, and promoting collaboration), career development (confidence, networking, professional skills, increased awareness of career choices, résumé building, opportunity to practice newly learned skills, and real-world experience), and community involvement (increased volunteerism, community involvement after graduation, civic-mindedness, and civic engagement; Bennett & Green, 2001;Britt, 2012;Bryer, 2011;Eyler et al, 2001;Furco, 1996;Geller, Zuckerman, & Seidel, 2016;Harris, 2017;Helms et al, 2015;Jacoby, 1999;Kezar & Rhoads, 2001;Lebovits & Bharath, 2019;Moely, McFarland, Miron, Mercer, & Ilustre, 2002;Mottner, 2010;Waldner, Roberts, Widener, & Sullivan, 2011). Moreover, SL courses can motivate lasting learning with its linking of theory to practical experience (Kapucu & Knox, 2011;Maddrell, 2014b).…”
