Service-learning : an investigation of the Community Learning Programme

Abstract

This study considers the impact on student learning at third level of a set of integrated management modules. These teach project and risk management at foundation level, leadership and coaching at intermediate level, and management consultancy at advanced level. The three modules use service-learning in their delivery and are referred to generically as the Community Learning Programme (CLP) modules. They are offered by the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) to students taking hospitality management, tourism, leisure and event management undergraduate programmes from second year onwards.
