Sommario/riassunto

This book examines service-learning as a critical pedagogy and explores the benefit of creating a reflective journal. It can be a form of assessment for the students' service experiences connected to academic theory through their critical reflection and it can also be a form of critical action based on critical thought. Susan Deeley is Professor of Learning and Teaching at the University of Glasgow, UK. She is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and holds a University Teaching Excellence Award and a Students’ Representative Council Teaching Award for 'Most Innovative Teaching'.
