“…Pless et al [74] show that significant learning took place in the area of cultural intelligence and intercultural competence as a result of a service learning approach. Students also show increased willingness and ability to work in interdisciplinary teams and appreciate diversity [68,[75][76][77]. Hanks and Icenogle [78] even show increased intergenerational competence for a specific service learning setting.…”

Due to its growing practical relevance, sustainability entrepreneurship receives a high degree of academic attention. However, literature on how to educate sustainability entrepreneurs remains scarce. A promising didactical approach in this context is service learning. We ask if service learning is an effective way to educate sustainability entrepreneurs, and which framework conditions impact those educators. First, we draw on an established sustainable entrepreneurship capability framework and provide direct evidence from entrepreneurship educators about the effectiveness of service learning. Second, based on grounded theory, qualitative interviews with those educators reveal a framework composed of personal and institutional factors that they have to navigate when provide service learning. Our findings contribute to the interface of service learning and sustainability entrepreneurship by highlighting its effectiveness and the framework conditions for educators.

“…One of the greatest challenges associated with the implementation of SL is lack of time to plan and coordinate SL courses due to job demands and overcrowded curricula (Anderson & Pickeral, 2000;Furco & Ammon, 2000). Moreover, faculty may be unprepared to use SL as a teaching method, lack understanding regarding SL pedagogy, or be uninterested in using SL (Anderson & Pickeral, 2000;Potthoff et al, 2000). When Mayhew and Welch wrote their call to service in 2001, there was little evidence that SL was being implemented by special education faculty; however, several examples of successful programs that highlight the benefits of the pedagogy have since emerged.…”

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.

“…Many teacher education programs place students in settings for field experiences that are different from the students' cultures and represent people of color and people living in poverty (Stachowski & Mahan, 1998;Swick, 1999;Potthoff et al, 2000;Major & Brock, 2003). One concern for providing field work in this manner is the ethical dilemma of whether or not students are prepared to participate in a classroom that poses a challenge and be able to support the children effectively.…”

“…The point of servicelearning is to address an identified need in two groups -the people in the community and the pre-service teachers participating in the program. Service-learning helps develop contributing citizens for the good of society (Potthoff et al, 2000).…”
