Material Detail

This case study investigates the benefits and challenges of using service learning to enhance the curriculum in a hybrid course rooted in the politics of the food system in Hawai‘i. Student learning outcomes are assessed, as are students’ notions of civic engagement. Students’ views on the impact of service learning on community partners is discussed, as well as the impact of the course curriculum on the students’ daily lives with regard to their awareness of the industrial agro-food system and sustainable agriculture’s varying degrees of success in contesting the former’s dominance. Challenges to the hybrid service learning model are discussed, as well as benefits and limitations of the multi-method approach used in this study. This paper argues that non-traditional students benefit from various types of access to service learning (online, hybrid, etc.) which increases student retention and student learning.
