Abstract

The philosophical foundation of service learning is based on a concept of reciprocity such that student participants provide service to communities based on their needs, and in exchange, they gain learning experiences from the community. However, the concept of reciprocity is often used by researchers and practitioners as a program ideal or as rhetoric without clearly defining its meaning, and there is very little research conducted on how such reciprocity is designed and constructed in actual programs. This paper thus examines the concept of reciprocity in service learning based on an analytical framework proposed by Dostilio, Brackmann, Edwards et al. (2012), and analyzes how reciprocity is constructed in an actual program by focusing on an international service learning program that consists of Japanese-language volunteers and multicultural fieldwork.
