1. The History Reciprocity
Kolb's Experiential
Learning Cycle
The Philosophy of
John Dewey (1859-1952)
"From the beginning, the
American college was
cloaked with a public
purpose, with a
responsibility to the past
and the present and the
future." (Rudolph, 1962)
Service learning is different from
volunteering. The concept of
reciprocity between the server
and the served "avoids the
traditionally paternalistic, one-
way approach to service in
which one group or person has
resources which they share
charitably or voluntarily with a
person or group that lacks
resources." (Kendall, 1990)

"Give the pupils something to do,
not something to learn; and the
doing is of such a nature as to
demand thinking; learning naturally
results."
