| Descripción: | This article provides a multi-level conceptual framework for service-learning that can serve as a decision-making guide for service-learning initiatives in Canadian post-secondary education. Service-learning approach options along a non-hierarchical continuum (philanthropic, social justice, and social transformation) are examined; the theoretical clusters used to frame this examination include experiential education, social learning, student development, and liberatory education. Various dimensions and potential implications of each approach are explored. Regardless of the particular service-learning approach adopted by Canadian institutions, decision makers and participants should be conscious of the parameters and potential impact of their chosen approach. Ce document fournit un cadre conceptuel à niveaux multiples pour l’apprentissage par le service communautaire et sert de guide à la prise de décisions sur les initiatives d’apprentissage par le service dans l’enseignement postsecondaire au Canada. Le document examine les choix d’approches en matière d’apprentissage par le service d’après un continuum non hiérarchique (philanthropique, justice sociale et transformation sociale). Les grappes théoriques ayant servi à encadrer l’examen des approches à l’apprentissage par le service comprennent l’éducation par l’expérience, l’apprentissage social, le développement de l’étudiant et l’éducation libératrice. Diverses dimensions et répercussions possibles de chaque approche sont présentées. Peu importe l’approche particulière adoptée par les établissements d’enseignement canadiens, les décideurs et participants doivent être conscients des paramètres et de l’effet possible de l’approche choisie. |
