Tóm tắt

In recent years, more university programs have been encompassing service learning components to augment their academic studies. Service learning engages students in activities that meet community needs. The students acquire a deeper understanding of course content, requirements within the discipline, and civic responsibilities. This paper will explore the attitudes and perceptions that Criminal Justice students have toward service learning. A sample of 54 undergraduate students from a liberal arts university in the Pacific Northwest were asked to reflect on their service learning classes, out of class activities, and discuss any barriers that made service learning classes more difficult. The results indicate that while students found service learning experiences beneficial to their undergraduate education, the barriers of time, money, and family obligations prevent many students from participating. Educators can utilize this insight when deciding if and when to utilize service learning in their courses. © 2013 Copyright YEAR Educational Review.
