Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.What I have learnt is that Students who do community service work learn that they can actually make a difference with what they do. This helps students better understand their own competence, leading to more self-confidence and a can-do attitude that can spread to their work and academic pursuits.Also that every party involved benefits. STUDENTS in service-learning classes can benefit academically, professionally, and personally. FACULTY can benefit personally and professionally from integrating service-learning into courses. COMMUNITY PARTNERS participating in service-learning can benefit in gaining additional human resources needed to achieve organizational goals.What I am still not sure about service learning is that is there any law or act that protect the community from individuals that want to use the community in form of labour in order to achieve their goals and the service learning only benefits the students and the faculty.
