| dc.description.abstract | Universities fulfill their social role through three fundamental areas: a) advancement of knowledge, b) education of future professionals, and c) service to the communities in their sphere of influence. One of the ways that universities respond to these areas but particularly with respect to service to communities is through studio-based service learning. This is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic culture and responsibility, and help strengthen the communities they serve. Usually studio-based service learning involves learn-by-doing problem-solving pedagogies initiated in the studio and extended to interact with the community and “real world environments”. This panel’s main goal is to discuss the pedagogical aspects of service-learning studios, their role, and, given pressures on department budgets and skill sets of professors, their future in planning education. Studio-based service learning has a long established place in the pedagogic traditions of planning programs evolved from physical planning based professions notably architecture, landscape architecture and geography (Dalton, 2001; Frank, 2006). These studios involve problem-solving learn-by-doing pedagogies that are student-centered and focus on quasi-real world projects, community engagement, creative thinking, group work, and practical outcomes (Higgins & Morgan, 2000). | |
