Building the Field: The Case for Community Service Learning
Lawson, Janelle E.; Firestone, Allison R.
Teacher Education and Special Education, v41 n4 p308-320 Nov 2018
In this study, the authors examine the impact of a community service learning course on undergraduate students' decisions to pursue careers as special education teachers or related service providers. Participants (N = 134) completed a course involving volunteer service with persons with disabilities in the local community and were surveyed as to whether they were interested in pursuing a career in special education upon graduation. Findings indicated that contact with a person with a disability through community service learning was a factor in influencing participants' willingness to enter the field of special education.
