| Abstract: |
Discusses fundamental issues of contention regarding educational research on service learning, including standards of validity and who is represented in the research. Examines the crisis in legitimization and demonstrates how various research paradigms are necessary and appropriate for understanding the impact and process of service learning (e.g., learning from stories, mixed-paradigm designs, and critical science).
