Description
Nonservice-Learning to Service-Learning Course Transition Many U.S. colleges and universities are moving from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning (Barr & Tagg, 1995). This paradigm shift is visible in several higher education reform movements occurring over the past several years (Boyer Commission, 1998; Kellogg Commission, 1999; Wingspread Group on Higher Education, 1993). This shift highlights the need for collaboration within higher education institutions, as well as between these institutions and the communities in which they reside. One way to shift from teaching to learning, and begin to address reform concerns, is to incorporate service-learning into college courses (Ehrlich, 1997; Eyler & Giles, 1999). This change requires revising individual classes.
