Service Learning And The Experiential Learning Cycle In Elementary School, Brittney D. Rose
Teaching & Learning Theses & Dissertations
There has been an increase in interest in service learning in the past decade (Kuh et al., 2017).

Scholars have argued that performance based funding (PBF) policies for higher education, which ties financial resources to specific metrics of achievement, is a result of that spread. In contemporary literature, scholars are examining the impacts of PBF and limitations, especially for community colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority-Serving Institutions. Research on the PBF policy making …
