Service-learning Articles
Service learning is an internationally recognised mechanism that promotes integration of service with teaching and learning in particular. Various articles and other service-learning publications have been uploaded here for students and researchers to explore.
Education as Change: Community Service Learning (CSL) theory and epistemology (Special edition)
This special issue of Education as Change focusing on service learning emerged from the commitment of the CHESP research team in the Faculty of Education at the University of Johannesburg to disseminating research in the field.
In a sense, this special issue is not an attempt to showcase examples of best practice in community service learning, but about the search towards ‘becoming’ or ‘emerging’ scholarship in CSL; it is about the search for a theoretical base, an underpinning ethic, and an epistemic position for CSL in South Africa.

Journal of Teaching in Social Work
From time to time, the Journal of Teaching in Social Work will publish a special issue centred on a contemporary issue of pedagogical importance. This special issue focuses on service learning and includes six articles written on ways of approaching and teaching service learning in both the graduate and undergraduate social work curricula. As an increasingly popular innovation in adult education, service learning has been relatively easily and rapidly adapted for professional education, in general, and for social work education in particular.
