Investigating Urban Community Needs: Service Learning from a Social Justice Perspective.

Maybach, Carol Wiechman

Education and Urban Society, v28 n2 p224-36 Feb 1996

Provides a critical perspective on service learning, and raises issues about focusing on the growth of students, which often ignores the service recipients and fails to ask how service is affecting the communities in which it is being performed. A new service-learning paradigm is offered to overcome some perceived inconsistencies in the existing one. (GR)
