2. SERVICE- LEARNIING

3. SERVICE LEARNING
Service-learning was first introduced during 1970.
According to John Dewey, service-
learning is the interaction of knowledge and skills
with experience (Giles Jr & Eyler 1999).
Dewey believed that human beings learn through
a 'hands-on' approach, or known as
learning by doing. This means that students must
interact with their environment in order
to adapt and learn

4. Service-learning theory is based on
the idea that experience is the
foundation for
learning, and the bases for learning
are the different forms of
community service (Morton &
Troppes, 1996). Service-learning,
therefore, is a form of experiential
education wherein
learning occurs through cycles of
action and reflection.

develop through active participation in
thoughtfully organized service that
⚬ is conducted in and meets the needs of a

⚬ is coordinated with an elementary school,
secondary school, institution of higher
education, or community service program, and

curriculum of the students, or the educational
components of the community service program
in which the participants are enrolled; and

participants to reflect on the service experience.

6. LEGAL BASES OF SERVICE-LEARNING
Service-learning is based on RA 8292 also known as
the Higher Education
Modernization Act of 1997. This law reiterates Section
2 paragraph 1 of Article XIV of the
1987 constitution by declaring that the “
policy of the state is to establish, maintain, and
support a complete adequate, and integrated
system of education relevant to the needs of
the people and the society.”

results for the participants.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVICE-LEARNING

9. 4. It provides real-life experiences wherein students gain knowledge from
a particular community engagement activity rather than from a textbook.
Through
these direct experiences, service-learning offers great opportunities for
students
to develop their critical thinking skills and learn how to identify relevant
and
emerging issues in community.
5. It gives students a deeper understanding of concepts and real-life
situations in
the community though immediately observable results.

service-

their
emotional and social development and cognitive learning.
