dc.description.abstract |
At a time when student stakeholders are demanding value for money, experiential service learning is expected to enrich student learning and also add value to society. To appreciate the context of experiential service learning, this chapter explores the theoretical and conceptual approaches to the learning process including theories, models, and perspectives, as well as derivation of a conceptual analytical framework. Since general education tends to not only embrace integrative learning approaches but also typically conducive to experiential and service learning, it is also covered in this chapter. It is hoped that upon completion of this chapter, the reader would be able to and enthused about repackaging their courses towards experiential learning engagement. Moreover, there will be a strong bias towards engagement of students towards service learning, and thus value addition to their respective communities. |
