Motivation for the study: The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) is implementing and expanding a suite of high impact practices (HIP) in its community colleges. Service learning, one of such HIPs, is incorporated into general education or degree programs' requirements via credit-bearing service learning components of different durations. While…

This chapter describes a service learning (SL) project implemented in an upper-level undergraduate "Cost Accounting" course to enhance the coverage of costing concepts. Employing a variation of Lafond, Leauby, and Wentzel (2017) SL task, students actively gather cost data for a business venture by preparing peanut butter and jelly…

This paper explores how alumni of a multi-term public service program understand the connection between the program and their career development. Qualitative data were collected from 393 alumni based on six open-ended survey questions. While career and professional development is not an explicit goal of the program, a thematic analysis suggests…

There is a growing need for workers with STEM-aligned training in the modern global economy, but a paucity of workers to fill these positions. One important contributor to this issue is low student persistence in STEM. Nontraditional science courses that utilize more active-participation and learning are attractive as tools to increase student…

Counselors are frequently called upon to be advocates for their clients and, more broadly, to advocate for the counseling profession.

This paper addresses the problem of the legacy of Western philosophical thought for community-engaged learning. Binaries between subject and object, and between theory and practice, present challenges to developing a coherent vision of the transformative potential of community-engaged learning or service learning. Some Western thinkers, however,…

It is well demonstrated that service-learning positively impacts a variety of student outcomes. However, methodological limitations have contributed to a lack of clear understanding of the mechanisms through which these effects occur. Additionally, little research has connected information literacy instruction explicitly with outcomes in…
