Abstract

Liberation and transformation frequently co-exist among pedagogical ideals since educators often seek to free and to change student thinking and student voices. Service learning, in particular, brings into focus these principles and locates them in experiential designs where practice and theory run side-by-side. Service-learning participants often expand intellectual horizons by way of grounded, embodied activity, and for many college students, this approach to learning can be fresh and attractive when compared to the lecture-and-test oriented cultures they experienced in high school or in other college settings.
