A Study of Service-Learning Institutionalization at a Baptist College.

      Аннотация: Service-learning pedagogy has gained the interest of teachers, professors, and administrators alike who are seeking innovative ways to engage students in their surrounding communities as a continuation of the educational experience. As more colleges seek ways to better incorporate service-learning into the fabric of the educational experience, Tolbert and Zucker's Component Process of Institutionalization (1996) could provide a theoretical framework for campus-wide service-learning institutionalization. Exploring the case of Baptist-affiliated college's campus-wide institutionalization of service-learning, Long offers new insights into the process of institutionalization of service-learning at a Baptist college. This case study could provide higher education leadership with a blueprint for successful institutionalization of service-learning on a parochial campus.
