The Scholarship of Engagement for Politics Education Service Partnership (CHESP), and in many other countries internationally where community-based learning and research are developing (Annette 2002). The Dearing Report (NCIHE 1997) follows on from an increasing range of work done since the 1970s which has emphasised the importance in HE of the development of what has been termed transferable, personal, core or key skills. The challenge for HE, according to the Dearing Report, is to provide an academic framework based on the acquisition of critical knowledge, which is mostly structured upon the present framework established by the academic disciplines and which provides students with the opportunity to develop essential key skills and capabilities. This emphasis on learning not only for academic knowledge but also for key skills and capabilities, including student leadership and civic engagement, can also be found in the USA in the work of Ernest Boyer and the Carnegie Foundation and more recently in the writings of Thomas Ehrlich (Ehrlich 2000; Colby et al. 2003). It is increasingly being recognised that an important way in which students can develop key skills through work experience and also experience an education for citizenship is through service-learning in the USA or community-based learning and research in the UK. An important way in which students can develop key skills through work experience and acquire an education for citizenship is through volunteering as well as service-learning or community-based learning and research. Student volunteering has since the 1960s been an exciting and important part of UK HE, and today leadership is provided by Student Volunteer, England, and also by the new organisation of professionals who support student volunteering, Workers in Student Community Volunteering (WiSCV). This has been assisted by the Higher Education Active Community Fund (HEACF), which is assisting universities and colleges of HE in England to promote volunteering and community partnerships and has been rolled into Teaching and Quality Enhancement Fund (now Teaching Enhancement and Student Success). 22
Higher Education and Civic / Community Engagement in the UK Community-based learning involves students working in partnership with local communities and learning through a structured programme of learning which includes reflection. While this development has resulted in the significant growth of exciting and challenging volunteer activities, there has also been an increase in the certification of volunteering and the development of an increasing number of academic programmes which accredit the learning involved. Throughout the UK we can find examples of universities recognising the challenge of establishing partnership-working with local and regional communities. Increasingly we can also find evidence of the development of community-based learning and research programmes as a response to this challenge. The Higher Education Funding Council for England and Wales (HEFCE) has supported these developments through the Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL) programmes, the establishment of centres of excellence in teaching and learning (CETLs) in this area, and the Higher Education Academy (HEA) has encouraged this work through its subject centres. At the core of community service-learning is the pedagogy of experiential learning which is based on the thought of John Dewey and more recently David Kolb et al. In the USA, the National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE) has since 1971 been engaged in the development of and research into experiential education and more recently the American Association of Higher Education (AAHE), in partnership with the Corporation for National Service, has commissioned volumes by leading academic figures to examine the importance of service-learning in HE. What is impressive about the work of the NSEE and the AAHE is that research is done not only on pedagogic practices but also, going beyond anecdotal evidence, there is research into the evaluation of the learning outcomes of service-learning. More recently there have been the International Service Learning Research Conferences which highlight the wide range of research being done internationally in this area. One of the leading research projects into the 23
