Markus, Gregory B.; And Others

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v15 n4 p410-19 Win 1993

Students in an undergraduate political science course that integrated classroom instruction and community service (n=37) were significantly more likely than were those in traditional discussion sessions (n=52) to report that they had performed to their potentials, learned to apply principles, and developed a greater awareness of social problems.
