Assessment and Service-Learning in Higher Education

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.

Critically analyses the rationale and function of reflective journals as assessment in service-learning Disseminates the findings of the author's research study on a teacher-student partnership Deemed as a versatile educational resource, which uses feminist critical autoethnography
