- Description
- Service-Learning has been a constant feature of the various projects that have functioned under the umbrella of the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools (DEST, 2005). In the two-stage project titled Values Education Good Practice Schools Project (DEST, 2006 and DEEWR 2008), involving 312 schools in 51 clusters, several clusters focused specifically on Service-Learning as their prime values pedagogy. In the major evaluation project, Project to Test and Measure the Impact of Values Education on Student Effects and School Ambience (Lovat et al., 2009b), involving both quantitative and qualitative methodology, Service-Learning was shown to be a particularly effective means of maximizing the impact of values pedagogy on all aspects of student achievement. This chapter will briefly explore the thinking that lay behind the Australian programme, the generalized results of its projects and the place of Service-Learning as an essential element within it.
