Another Kind of Service-Learning: Integrating Social Entrepreneurship in Honors Education
Abstract
Service-learning has been dubbed a "high-impact practice," and has become a favorite of Honors programs, because it delivers a particularly robust set of learning outcomes for students.
However, these outcomes set aside consideration of community impact. Since social entrepreneurship requires its practitioners to conceptualize problems in actionable terms, it offers a framework in which student learning is directly linked to the effectiveness of service activities.
This article will outline the implementation of a social entrepreneurship project at The Ohio State University, and will suggest ways in which the assessment of student learning and community.
impact can be more intimately connected.
