Title

Amen, Awareness And Action: Catholic Service-Learning And Critical Consciousness

Keywords

Catholic education; Community service; Critical consciousness; Freire; Liberation theology; Service-learning

Abstract

The current study examines the meaning that students enrolled in a diverse, urban Catholic high school made of their four-year participation in a mandatory service-learning program. Framed by liberation theology and Paulo Freire's typology of critical consciousness, inquiries look specifically at whether students understood their participation and experiences simply as religiously charitable obligations, or as learning experiences for the development of their social awareness and future civic engagement for social change. © 2008 The Australian Christian Education Forum.
