Paper Title:
Assessment on Service Learning in the Teaching and Learning of Civic Education: A Case of Selected Secondary Schools in Chongwe District of Lusaka Province, Zambia.
Service-learning is an experiential learning pedagogy that moves students beyond the classroom to become active participants in their learning and develop civic knowledge and skills. It refers to an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs. Service learning is as important as education itself as it brings the balance between learning goals and service outcomes. Therefore, the study aimed at assessing service learning in the teaching and learning of civic education at some selected secondary schools in Chongwe district of Lusaka Province in Zambia. The study employed both the qualitative and quantitative methods and a descriptive research design that sampled community head teachers, heads of departments (social sciences), teachers and from the selected schools. Data was obtained from the respondents by means of interviews and questionnaires. Frequency tables, graphs, figures and pie-charts were used to analyze the qualitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed by the use of software MS access and MS Excel. The findings revealed the teaching methods used in civic education stimulate pupils’ interest in political and social issues, civic participation in the wider community and at school. Additionally, it was found that secure political and social environment in school was very important to achieve service-learning where democratic principles are upheld. Further, the findings indicated that development in civic skills and dispositions required systematic training and preparation for someone to function properly. The study, therefore, recommends that trained/qualified teachers to teach civic education, there should be adequate teaching and learning materials. Additionally, the study suggests that there should be promotion of civic education at all levels and involvement of stakeholders as well as the government.
