Character Development Through Service and Experiential Learning
$38.50In the new environment of the 21st century, academic achievement alone is not sufficient. Different sets of socio-emotional skills are required of our youths to operate and thrive. When students learn through the experience of doing, contributing to the community, and relating to their peers while getting their hands dirty, it helps to develop the total person, something which many education systems have been striving to address through moral and character education. This type of learning equips students with useful skills and values for the real world. Many educational institutions are now embarking on service and other experiential learning strategies for precisely these reasons, often with the tacit backing of the state and non-governmental organisations.
