FRIDAY, 26 June 2009 Location: Friday Plenary Session 9:00–10:15 Arts Millennium Building – O Tnuathail Host: Timothy Murphy, Conference Co-Chair; Senior Lecturer, Carnegie Faculty of Sport & Education, Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, UK; Board Member, International Center for Service-Learning in Teacher Education Service Learning & School Development: Bridging the gap between academia and schooling. Presenter: Anne Sliwka, Heidelberg University of Education, Germany In my presentation, I will introduce a particular model of service-learning in teacher education which we have been developing over the past eight years at the universities of Mannheim, Trier, and Heidelberg. We establish close cooperations with partner schools in the region. These schools provide us with real-life challenges and problems, which we work on and try to solve Anne Sliwka in courses called “School development in practice”. The model is based on the idea of a horizontal developmental partnership between universities and schools. Students learn to apply research methods and scientific knowledge in real-life interventions in schools. I will explain the evolving methodology of these courses, will present some practical examples of what we have been doing in and with schools, and will share some of our evaluation and research results on the effectiveness of the approach in teacher education. Anne Sliwka is Professor of Education at Heidelberg University of Education. She was one of the initiators of the large German government programme “Learning and Living Democracy” and is a co-founder of the German Association for Democratic Pedagogy (DeGeDe). She was one of the first German professors to introduce a servicelearning component to her university courses. Her research focuses on teacher professionalism, school culture, school improvement, civic education and democratic pedagogy. She is author of the book Bürgerbildung: Demokratie beginnt in der Schule. (2008). She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the International Center for Service-Learning in Teacher Education.
