Abstract

Higher education in general has been for decades and continues to be challenged by employers and more recently within the academy. More specifically, business education needs more creativity and imagination. Service-learning, an instructional method that integrates theoretical learning with real life experimentation and community service, offers the positive impacts of its pedagogy in enhancing students’ learning and personal growth. This study measures critical aspects of service-learning. Data are compared to the same courses during prior semesters and for the study semester from three perspectives – the students, the instructor, the businessperson. Findings support that the service-learning projects were successful.
