Abstract
This research, conducted with an introductory sociology class at the University of British Columbia during the 2001 ‐ 2002 academic year, explored community service ‐ learning as a pedagogy and philosophy. The theoretical focus of this paper is Nancy Fraser’s (1997) criticisms of Jurgen Habermas’ (1992) bourgeois liberal model of the public sphere. We analyzed the class experiences with community service that emerged from students’ contributions to a database of community organizations, concept maps, and a student ‐ driven course evaluation. The outcomes of this research include a description of potentially useful course strategies and a narrative of a unique type of community ‐ service learning. Key words: community ‐ service learning, public sphere, citzenship, learning Cette recherche menee dans le cadre d’un cours d’introduction a la sociologie a l’Universite de Colombie ‐ Britannique au cours de l’annee universitaire 2001 ‐ 2002 portait sur l’apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire en tant que pedagogie et philosophie. La theorie sous ‐ jacente a cet article est tiree des critiques de Nancy Fraser (1997) au sujet du modele liberal bourgeois de la sphere publique de Jurgen Habermas (1992). Les auteurs ont analyse les experiences du service communautaire qu’ont pu vivre les etudiants a travers leurs contributions a une base de donnees d’organisations communautaires, a des cartes conceptuelles et a une evaluation du cours. Les resultats de cette recherche comprennent une description de strategies pedagogiques potentiellement utiles et un recit portant sur un type unique d’apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire Mots cles: apprentissage par l’engagement communautaire, sphere publique, citoyennete, apprentissage
