ISBN: 9781433112447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.
Community Service Learning (CSL) is, potentially, the most powerful and far-reaching educational reform movement in recent memory. Yet, that potential has yet to be realized. One major reason for CSL s limited success is found in its runaway conceptual confusion: in becoming everything to everyone, CSL has lost its philosophical bearings and, not surprisingly, its practical value. This study attempts to restore CSL s philosophical bearings, arguing that there are particular... This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.

Contributions explore evidence of intimidation and body fears that is largely unheard and unexplored in locker rooms...
