title: The Art of Service Learning.
abstract: Service learning has become a buzz term in higher academic settings. However, it may be difficult to identify activities that have both a service component and a learning component that logically flows from course objectives. The authors introduce four service learning options that may be utilized by colleges and universities nationwide. They offer support for Parse's theory of humanbecoming as a natural underpinning to service learning and they discuss where specific aspects of Parse's teaching-learning model may surface within service learning activities.
