Two Major Concerns About Service-Learning: What if We Don't Do It? And What if We Do?
本文探讨美国高等教育未能培养公共良知的问题，分析管理教育中服务学习倡议的历史、原因及不足，包括部门孤立主义和未能培养学生负责任地行使权威。
American higher education has failed to cultivate a public conscience, insulating graduates from the consequences of their decisions in the lives of others; service-learning is presented as a remedy. This article traces the history of the Academy of Management service-learning initiatives. The reasons for these initiatives, including recent criticisms of higher education in general, and the shortcomings of management education in particular, are discussed. These shortcomings include isolationism within sectors and failure to prepare students for the responsible exercise of authority. Faculty members, as academics, have responsibilities as educators in society that require extending their vision beyond narrow disciplines for the purpose of enhancing the greater good.
