Item Open Access Community service learning in international context: a cross-case analysis(2016-06) Uzun, NurgülAlthough there are a number of private-schools that implement service-learning activities within the framework of their international curricula, service-learning is a relatively new concept in public schools in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to use cross-case analysis for exploring and analyzing service-learning initiatives conducted in high school contexts in a variety of countries. To this end, the study aims to identify second-order constructs in selected cases relation to purposes, outcomes, challenges, curriculum integration, effects, opportunities, civic-international mindedness, Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) learning aims and outcomes. The study also intends to use multiple conceptual lenses to interpret the cross-case analyses for informing the practice of service learning. To this end, the researcher primarily utilizes Butin’s conceptual model to develop third-order constructs. The researcher also uses the concepts stemming from character education to further inform practice, such as values education, social-emotional learning and citizenship education. Findings provide insights into the content, processes and outcomes of service learning.Item Open Access Service learning in high school context: an interpretive synthesis(2021-01) Gönül, HaticeService learning is used increasingly in primary, secondary and higher education contexts. It provides platform for multiple learning pathways from experiential and social-emotional learning to character and values education, and from citizenship education to critical literacy. The main purpose of this study was to explore the concept, and practice, of service learning through an approach to interpretive synthesis. To this end, this study analyzed a number of selected research studies conducted in high school context, noting salient research paradigms utilized. The study also analyzed the second-order interpretations, derived from the studies using some perspectives on service learning as rethought and conceptualized by Butin (2010), with a view to identifying major variables and constructs focused on, and highlighting what other, if any, conceptual categories any potential studies might consider. One of outcomes of this study provides a service-learning framework which could be used in educational contexts. Another outcome of the study puts emphasis on the service learning areas the previously conducted studies primary focused on, and the salient research paradigms and methods used, and the ones not used. The final outcome of the study highlights the service learning areas that could be explored further, and the areas that have not been focused on at all.
