Learning Projects

Community service learning offers a unique and rewarding way for business students to reinforce communication capabilities while developing lifelong career and social skills. This article defines community service learning, dis cusses its importance to business as well as higher education, and describes three community service learning projects. Students in these projects taught elementary students, designed a computer system for a community nonprofit, and developed accounting systems for university divisions. In doing so, they enhanced their understanding of classroom theories and communication skills through service-learning.

Community Service-Learning (CSL) in higher education is a pedagogical approach embraced by many disciplines as a form of experiential learning that is rewarding for students, faculty and community partners. Although applied anthropology and CSL seem natural partners, applied anthropologists have published very little on CSL experiences. In this presentation of our experience, we argue that applied anthropologists should consider participating and publishing on CSL. We believe with a little preparation applied anthropologists are ready to jump into CSL, and that this will benefit their communities, their students, their careers and the discipline.

This paper explores how community service-learning (CSL) participants negotiate competing institutional logics in Canadian higher education. Drawing theoretically from new institutionalism and work on institutional logics, we consider how CSL has developed in Canadian universities and how participants discuss CSL in relation to other dominant institutional logics in higher education. Our analysis suggests participants’ responses to competing community, professional, and market logics vary depending on their positions within the field. We see actors’ use of hybrid logics to validate community-engaged learning as the strategy most likely to effect change in the field.
