Home Away from Home or Foreign Territory?: How Social Class Mediates Service-Learning Experiences
Lee, Jenny J.
NASPA Journal, v42 n3 p310-325 2005
This qualitative study explored the intersection between social class and college outreach. The service-learning experience was perceived differently by students of different social classes. The benefit was that the interactive classroom forum allowed diverse students to exchange views. Regardless of their personal backgrounds, students shared a heightened sense of civic responsibility. These findings have implications in designing service-learning courses that value multiple perspectives and aim to facilitate social change. (Contains 1 footnote.)
