Transcript On What Is Service Learning For A Podcast
According to the authors in the book: SL in the curriculum. A resource for HEI in SA,
Service-Learning is a module-based, credit-bearing experiential educational approach
involving learning activities in which students —
• participate in contextualised, well-structured and organised service activities aimed at
addressing identified service needs in a community, and
• through structured reflection, students examine and analyse their service
experiences critically in order to gain a deeper understanding of the linkage between
curriculum content and service, as well as achieve personal growth and a sense of
social responsibility.
