About the Conference
We are now in our most difficult times because of the succession of calamities and disasters, either natural or human-induced, that makes the lives of the severely affected regions in Asia-Pacific more challenging. This requires cooperation among social institutions to survive as one community in a limiting environment. This also demands the preparation of the younger generation, particularly higher education students, to be affectively and effectively involved in the efforts to make better the lives of those in need.
One way to prepare students, both in theoretical and practical ways, is through the integration of service-learning pedagogy in formal classroom instruction, research undertakings, and community engagement – functions mandated of higher education institutions. Exposing students in all these domains of learning with service-learning pedagogy, as the guiding framework of the design of learning activities that benefit participating communities, may produce students who understand and appreciate the value of their chosen career tracks before and beyond completion of their degrees.
The 8th Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning is anchored on the theme "Community Engagement at the Intersection of Research and Extension" with the following sub-themes:
1. Service-Learning and Classroom Instruction
2. Service-Learning and Research
3. Service-Learning and Community Outreach
Admittedly, the sub-themes may also have cross – interactions. Paper presenters are to select their paper’s most dominant sub-theme. Those interested to submit abstracts to the conference are advised to observe the schedule of submissions and format.
