Recensioner i media

Higher education is at its best when students learn not only to acquire knowledge but also to connect it, apply it, and use it to address real challenges. In this book, Glenn Bowen argues that integrative learning is not a peripheral goal of undergraduate education. It is central to preparing students for work, citizenship, and life. Drawing from research and decades of practice, he demonstrates how experiences inside and outside the classroom can help students bridge theory and practice, deepen their learning, and make sense of an increasingly complex world. Particularly compelling is his recognition that service- learning and community-based experiences are not simply enriching opportunities for students. They are powerful ways for students to connect knowledge with action, develop a stronger sense of purpose, and better understand their responsibilities to the communities they are part of. At a time when colleges and universities are being challenged to prepare graduates for an increasingly complex world, this book offers a compelling vision for how more-connected learning can strengthen student success and advance higher education’s public purpose.
