Index
This book provides a basic road map for addressing the critical ethical issues in service-learning in order to prepare students, faculty, and administrators for the sometimes difficult ethical dilemmas that arise during the service-learning process. Included is a synopsis of the theoretical context of moral decision-making and a proposed code of ethics for students, faculty, and administrators and a model of ethical decision-making, as well as a review of current literature on formative and summative assessment in service-learning and an overview of risk management. The book also offers examples of hypothetical dilemmas that consider several perspectives, followed by a set of questions to guide the reader through the model of ethical decision-making.
