Service
Learning integrates community service into the curriculum to enhance and
enrich student learning and promote civic responsibility. In a
way, service-learning
holds up a mirror for us to see ourselves, a microscope for us to
examine our society, and binoculars for us to see what lies ahead.
Students learn more when they are actively involved in what they are learning than when they are passive recipients of information. Service learning is "active participation" in learning and one of the most effective forms of active learning.
