Re: What is Problem-based Service-Learning

I would be interested in the origin of the term, Problem-Based
Service-Learning, Shirin.  I design curriculum for charter schools and it
is constructivist in nature, inter-disciplinary and problem-based.  I also
incorporate service learning.  Seems to me that most s-l projects could be
designed to be problem-based.  In working toward this, I would place the
responsibility of discovering the s-l project upon the students'
shoulders, have students research the
political/historical/medical/environmental/etc implications of the
problem, the proposed solution, and have students reflect on the research
process as well as the service process.  The methods outlined in I-Search
would be a strong component.  I will be interested in reading others'
thoughts on this question.  susen
