“…However, the plethora of research with an overemphasis on students’ learning outcomes continue to provide a one-sided view of the impact of service-learning, thus, presenting the notion that service-learning offers more benefits to students than communities (Beran & Lubin, 2012). Given the conceptualization of service-learning as a pedagogical practice that provides mutual beneficial outcomes to students and communities, further analysis of the effects of service-learning on communities should be explored (see Spear & Chapman, 2020).
