Service Learning Influenced by Learner-Centred Education

By Daniel Manyasi Katira Otunga

In this chapter, the author shows how service learning is a typical practical pedagogy that can fit individuals' and a community's needs. The author opens the discourse by relating learner-centred education to behavioural-change through service learning and how such shift influences society. Thereafter, the author specifically looks at the newly established unconventional relationships between learners and lecturers and that of institutions of higher learning with the communities engaged. The chapter is closed by probing the significance of impacts created by learning skills gotten through self-pace distance-learning in service learning and active citizenry. In a nutshell, this chapter demystifies learning from being necessarily institutionalised, instructor-oriented, and static.
