The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Service Learning in South Africa by Ruksana Osman and Nadine Petersen.

Service learning is a form of experiential learning in which students receive academic credit for addressing human and community needs in a way that benefits both provider and recipient of the service. This book adopts a social justice framework and the theoretical component addresses why students do service learning, includes reflection, and discusses issues of power, such as the positioning between students and site managers. ‘Service Learning in South Africa’ is aimed at South African students taking courses in service learning in degrees as diverse as Education (B.Ed or PGCE), the B.Soc.Sci, B.Cur, B.Eng and Law; as well as lecturers and theorists of service learning, educational policy-makers and practitioners in non-governmental organisations.
