"Service Learning Study Abroad Trips in International Studies" published on by Oxford University Press.

Service learning is hardly known at German universities. In education, the general idea of "giving something back to the community" is not as common as, for example, in the USA. As far as [ known], the third author of the present paper is the only one who has held service-learning courses at a German university. This paper is about how these courses have been organized at Mannheim University since summer 2003, about the experiences of the participants in three of these service-learning courses, and about some of the results of the evaluation. (DIPF/orig.).

Three predominant forms of school-based service programs are community service, service-learning, and service-based internship programs. Although distinct on several dimensions, all three types use service as the primary means to engage students in experiential learning activities. The study described in this paper investigated how these three forms of school-sponsored service programs affect students' educational development. (DIPF/orig.).
