“…For example, SL may be used as an instructional approach to promote inclusion and increase positive perceptions of persons with disabilities within their schools and communities (Karayan & Gathercoal, 2003;Muwana & Gaffney, 2011;Parker, 2009). In addition, some courses may be specifically designed to promote public awareness regarding the contributions persons with disabilities make to their communities (Curran, 1999;Karayan & Gathercoal, 2003;Novak, 2010;Smith, 2003) or facilitate the inclusion of new special educators and students with disabilities in their schools and communities (Kennedy, 2005).…”

The purpose of this study was to describe the use of service-learning (SL) by special education faculty at 4-year colleges and universities across the United States, and to determine faculty attitudes and beliefs about the application of SL in special education. Participants included faculty with experience in SL teaching and/or research in special education (N = 48). Data were gathered using a survey. Results show that faculty represented a wide range of institutions and had varying levels of SL experience. There was variability in beliefs about and implementation of SL across faculty. Barriers to incorporating SL in courses and research were minimal. Significant differences in attitudes and beliefs were found based on type of institution, size of institution, and size of community.

A review of the literature describes service learning as a process, pedagogy, philosophy, and experience (Novak, 2010;Ottenritter, 2004;Redman & Clark, 2002).

The purpose of this study was to determine if student’s perceptions of service learning projects lead to an understanding the mission of the University of the Incarnate Word. It is through the service learning opportunity that a window opens to determine if students gain a prospective of service learning and the meaning of the mission of the institution. The research findings revealed moderate positive relationships among students’ perceptions of learning service projects and the students’ understanding of the mission of the institution. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
