关于服务学习的研究开始表明，学院可能正在利用社区为学生服务，而不是让学生有效地为社区服务。本文首先记录潜在问题的范围及其潜在维度。然后，在社区发展模式和基于社区的研究（CBR）实践的基础上，开发另一种模式来指导服务学习。使用这个替代模型使我们能够创建面向结果的服务学习计划，并更好地监视其实现。然后，我们分析该模型如何在正在进行的服务学习项目中发挥作用。分析显示了该模型如何能够让利益相关者参与设计项目，并创建具体的、目标导向的服务学习项目，这些项目可以被仔细监督，以最大化社区成果。然而，我们无法克服不适合的高等教育结构和文化所强加的服务学习的弱点。
Research on service learning is beginning to show that the academy may be using communities to serve students, rather than engaging students in effectively serving communities. This article begins by documenting the extent of the potential problem and its underlying dimensions. It then goes on to develop an alternative model to guide service learning, building on community development models and community-based research (CBR) practices. Using this alternative model allowed us to create an outcome-oriented service-learning plan, and better monitor its implementation. We then analyze how this model plays out in an ongoing service-learning project. The analysis shows how the model was able to engage stakeholders in designing the project and creating specific, goal-oriented service-learning projects that could be carefully supervised to maximize community outcomes. However, we could not overcome the weakness of service learning imposed by an ill-suited higher education structure and culture.
