Quick Guide: Service-Learning and Student Engagement
Myer, Steve
National Service Learning Clearinghouse
Engagement in learning is closely linked to student achievement and other outcomes, such as reduced dropout rates and youth risk behaviors (Blank, 1997; Dev, 1997; Dryfoos, 1990; Woods, 1995). School engagement has been defined to include behavioral components such as active participation in school activities, and psychological components such as interest, enjoyment, and efforts to fully understand subject matter (Bartko, 1999; Finn, 1993). Other types of student engagement outside of school have also been explored, including community engagement and civic engagement. Service-learning includes several strategies that research (e.g., Brewster & Fage).
