“…Furthermore, the results of this study also supported the results of the earlier studies that service-learning positively affects civic development of students (Giles & Eyler, 1994;Bringle & Hatcher, 1996;Strage, 2000;Simons & Cleary, 2006;Steinberg, Bringle, & Williams, 2010;Steinberg, Hatcher, & Bringle, 2011). The results of the study added to the literature on service-learning from a different contextual perspective by using a new model and testing it in a developing country context.…”

“…The basic aim of education is to prepare active and participative citizens for the society (Steinberg, Bringle, & Williams, 2010). One of the roles of educational institutions is to adequately equip students with knowledge and skills for enabling them to learn and practice good citizenship (Giles & Eyler, 1994;Konukman & Schneider, 2012). Developing civic responsibility in the students allows the schools to fulfill their basic mission which is the preparation of good citizens.…”

“…This exposure of students in the wider community enables the students to learn and serve at the same time (Stukas, Clary, & Snyder, 1999). The students further have wider interactions with different people in the community and gain first-hand knowledge of the issues and their solution (Giles & Eyler, 1994;Valerius & Hamilton, 2001;Pompa, 2002). Studies have indicated that to enhance academic success, educators use variety of teaching and learning methods.…”

This study examined the correlation between service-learning and civic development and its three dimensions: civic knowledge, civic skills and civic commitment. Service-learning is a unique experiential teaching and learning methodology that promotes civic learning of students by connecting academic learning with community service. The study also assessed the moderating effect of reflection on the relationship of service-learning with civic development. Using a correlation design, this study surveyed 250 teachers in three public universities in Malakand Division, Pakistan. Results of the study showed a significant positive correlation between service-learning and civic development. The study also showed that reflection significantly moderates the relationship between service-learning and civic development.

“…Service learning has a positive impact on student personal outcomes such as personal efficacy, moral development, and the ability to work with others; social outcomes such as facilitating racial and cultural understanding, citizenship skills, and continued community involvement; and student relations with their institution of higher learning such as stronger ties with faculty and increased likelihood of graduation (Eyler et al 2001). In the classroom, participation in service learning projects has been found to have positive impacts on grade point averages, critical thinking skills, writing skills, understanding of the political process, beliefs about the importance of politics, issue identification skills, and political participation skills that are over and above any benefits that stem from engagement in service alone (Astin et al 2000;Eyler, Giles, and Braxton 1997;Giles and Eyler 1994).…”

Both service learning and simulations have been shown to positively impact student outcomes, but they are not often used together. This article examines how to effectively combine these active learning styles to reap the benefits of both. After examining a case in which the two were combined and the impact this approach had on student evaluations and learning outcomes, I discuss how such projects can be successfully executed in a variety of other classes.

Objective. To determine if the service-learning components used at a convenience sample of schools and colleges of pharmacy meet the intent of the 2001 AACP Professional Affairs Committee (PAC) report.Methods. An online questionnaire was used to survey faculty members or staff involved with servicelearning education at their school of pharmacy. Questions addressed aspects of service-learning including types of activities used, duration of student involvement with community partners, and association of learning objectives with service-learning activities. Results. The majority (85.3%) of respondents reported their institution used service-learning. Activities reported as part of service-learning ranged from working at health fairs to involvement with pharmacy school recruitment. More than half (64.3%) of service-learning activities involved long-term interactions with one community partner, and 74.1% of respondents indicated there was always an opportunity for student reflection on the service-learning activity. Conclusion. There is increasing though inconsistent application of PAC guidelines regarding servicelearning.
