An ad hoc committee planned and conducedt a 2 day public workshop that explored how service-learning is being used in geoscience education, the potential benefits, and the strength of the evidence base. Presenters and participants at the workshop discussed which student outcomes are most likely to be influenced by a service-learning experience, what “best practices” might look like, the potential challenges to implementing service-learning in undergraduate geoscience courses, and areas where research is needed.
