Description

With service-learning's growing role in college curricula, more college students are serving their community. Perhaps responding to the real need to show the value of including service in a college curriculum, a great deal of the research has focused on service learning's effects on the college students performing the service (e.g., Astin & Sax, 1998). In reviewing service-learning in higher education from 1993 to 1999, Eyler, Giles, and Gray (1999) reported dozens of studies on service-learning's effects on college students, but only six that considered community satisfaction. Likewise, K-12 service-learning research has focused on effects on the service providers (e.g., Root, 1997). The effect of service on the community has usually been absent from the research agenda (Ward & Wolf-Wendel, 2000) and when it is considered, it is most often reported in case study accounts or as evaluations by supervisors rather than the effects on actual service recipients (e.g., Ferrari & Worrall, 2000; Gray, Ondatjee, Fricker & Geschwind, 2000; Salo & O'Connor, 1997).
