Key themes include:* Theory of service-learning* Concept of service-learning* Challenges to service-learning * Applications of service-learning* Service-learning as professional development* Service-learning as communicationAccessibly written, this book would be of interest to faculty, students, community organisations, and researchers working in the areas of education, pedagogy, sociology, and social work.
