It is a form of experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection as students work with others through a process of applying what they are learning to community problems, and at the same time, reflecting upon their experience as they seek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding for themselves.

This description refers to Service-Learning. Service-Learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs.

Here are the steps involved in Service-Learning:

1. Identify a community need: This is usually done through research or discussions with community members to understand what problems or issues they are facing that students can help address.

2. Plan the Service-Learning project: This involves determining what actions will be taken to meet the community need, what learning objectives will be tied to the project, and how the project will be implemented.

3. Implement the Service-Learning project: Students then carry out the project, applying what they have learned in the classroom to a real-world situation.

4. Reflect on the experience: After the project is completed, students reflect on their experience, discussing what they learned, how their perceptions may have changed, and how they can apply what they learned in the future.

5. Evaluate the project: Finally, the project is evaluated to determine if the community need was met and if the learning objectives were achieved. This can involve feedback from community members, student reflections, and assessments of student learning.

Through this process, students not only gain a deeper understanding of their coursework, but also develop practical skills and gain a sense of civic responsibility.
