Initiating and Extending Institutionalization of Service-Learning
Ti, Clarence B. W.; Tang-Wong, Joyce; Bringle, Robert G.
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, v25 n2 p5-22 2021
Senior leadership at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore decided to make service-learning the signature pedagogy of the polytechnic and to infuse at least one service-learning module (i.e., course) in every diploma so that all students would have a service-learning experience. Evidence is provided that, in 3 years, the rapid institutionalization of service-learning met and exceeded all of Furco's (2002) dimensions for institutionalization at the quality building level, his intermediate level of institutionalization. In addition, a bold, visionary institutional strategic plan, the Service-Learning Roadmap, is presented that not only achieved this growth but also extends institutionalization beyond current models. Finally, implications and recommendations are offered to guide institutionalizing service-learning, thereby providing a model for other institutions globally.
