Service-Learning Outcomes in Florida Higher Education: An Analysis of Predictors
Main, Amanda M.; Plante, Jarrad D.; Bowdon, Melody
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, v26 n1 p1-17 2022
This study sought to examine how service-learning and student volunteer opportunities shape educational experiences for students by surveying 437 students currently enrolled in service-learning courses from nine participating Florida Campus Compact institutions. The researchers found several predictors that impacted student perceptions of their service-learning experiences, including gender identity, academic discipline, course model, and type of organizational partner. This article presents the current state of service-learning in higher education and presses with an increased urgency for institutions to adopt or expand service-learning programs. The results of this study will better inform service-learning program design as well as future service-learning research.
