Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Since Dewey (1933) highlighted reflection as an essential component in higher education, scholars (Dyment & O’Connell, 2011, Finlay 2008, & Hatcher, Bringle, & Muthiah, 2004) have pointed out the crucial role reflection plays in Service-Learning (S-L).
